London, England – Early morning of September 6, 2025, Andrey Santos don drop bombshell wey shock every football fan. The Brazilian midfielder, just 21 years old, don reject mad offer wey go fit boost im salary by 500% just to maintain im spot for Chelsea FC. Ehn, dem no dey joke for this matter o! (E go sweet if person dey pay you that kind money, but na wetin sabi be your dream?)
Santos confirm say e get offer from Al-Qadsiah for Saudi Pro League where dem wan pay Chelsea €70 million just to make him join them. But the boy get one eye on World Cup wey dey come 2026, and no be waisted opportunity he want for im future. Santos talk say, “The offer did arrive, but I immediately declined because of my dream and main goal, which is the World Cup.” Na correct decision o!

E don also get some good time for Club World Cup wey Chelsea don win recently. But as dem say, “No be small goal wey dey wait for him.” Dem say na Enzo Maresca’s lineup he dey fight to enter. (We fit just call am ‘the Chelsea battleground for the midfielders.’)
Neymar dey Santos’ mind, but e no go let that one distract am. While Santos dey dream of World Cup glory, some clubs wey hungry for signing don also eye Chelsea player like Nicolas Jackson, wey don move go Bayern Munich. Chelsea don do am well, no be wahala matter wey dey happen for transfer window wey just close.
So, make we raise our glass, and drink to Andrey Santos! E don choose to focus on im career with Chelsea instead of big money wey of course fit change im life. We go dey watch as e dey build him own legend while e dey dance shakushaku for Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Al-Qadsiah go just dey wonder wetin happen to dem ‘cashful’ offer!
