Deivid Washington, a young Santos player, is transferred to Chelsea by Chelsea.
Deivid Washington, a young player for Santos, will be acquired by Chelsea for about €20 million, according to UOL.
The French club AS Monaco put forth an offer for the 18-year-old, giving the Blues competition for his signature.
However, he decided on Chelsea and will sign a six-year contract through 2029. The deal may be extended by the Blues for an additional year.
Washington, a highly prized player, debuted for the senior team this season. In 16 appearances, he has two goals to his credit.
He’ll go to Chelsea with fellow Santos youth graduate Angelo Gabriel. The two are anticipated to team up at Chelsea’s French affiliate RC Strasbourg.
The Patrick Vieira-led Ligue 1 team will serve as a talent pipeline.
Lesley Ugochukwu, a different youngster from Chelsea, might also join them. Ugochukwu could take a loan back to France after Chelsea paid Rennes €27 million to acquire him this summer.
Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital moved to Stamford Bridge last season, the Blues have spent millions of dollars acquiring highly-rated young players from all over Europe and South America.
This summer, they spent more than £50 million to sign Kendry Paez, Ugochukwu, Angelo Gabriel, Washington, and Diego Moreira.
The two-time Champions League champions, however, still require senior reinforcements, and the youngsters are not yet prepared to start delivering for them.
They need another attacker and have not yet added a defensive midfielder. They might also be looking for a goalkeeper, as Bayern Munich has Kepa Arrizabalaga on their radar.
Tyler Adams and Moises Caicedo are both being courted by Chelsea. Giorgi Mamardashvili and Gregor Kobel are reportedly on their list of potential replacements for Arrizabalaga.

Chelsea’s double agreement is “close” as Mauricio Pochettino completes the first phase of his transfer strategy.
As Mauricio Pochettino completes the first phase of his transfer strategy, a double deal involving Chelsea is “close.”.
Chelsea still have a ton of work to do before the end of August, but Mauricio Pochettino’s project at Stamford Bridge is finally starting to take shape.
As Chelsea is expected to close two more deals before the transfer window closes, Mauricio Pochettino has advanced to the next phase of his rebuilding effort. The challenging task of conducting a clean-out at Stamford Bridge was given to co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley before the summer.
Many prominent players have already been cut from the first team; among those who have moved on are Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, and Mason Mount. While Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic both joined AC Milan, N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy boarded a plane for Saudi Arabia.
While Cesar Azpilicueta, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Abdul Rahman Baba all made free transfers to new clubs in Europe, Ethan Ampadu signed a contract with Leeds United. Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech have been excluded from preseason first-team practices even though Chelsea has not yet sold either player.
Following the release of twelve players from the books, Pochettino began the next phase of his meticulous rebuild, one that the Blues may be all too familiar with: reviving the infamous loan system. The process began when David Datro Fofana signed with Union Berlin, and it continued when Angelo Gabriel signed with sister-club Strabourg.
Teddy Sharman-Lowe and Charlie Webster have also joined Heerenveen and Bromley, respectively, before they return to Cobham the following year to force their way into the Chelsea manager’s plans. There are two more deals in the works now that the loan system is operating effectively once more at Stamford Bridge.
Lewis Hall is reportedly close to signing a season-long loan agreement with Crystal Palace, according to the Daily Mail. The 18-year-old might even be available to play against Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon, according to the report, which claims that the transfers are “on the verge of being agreed.”.
Hall performed well during the preseason, but he had to beat out Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell for a spot in the starting lineup. Even Ian Maatsen, who appears poised to take center stage for Chelsea this season, was frequently pushed farther out to make room for the England international.
Hall will have another opportunity to show why he belongs in the Blues starting lineup at Selhurst Park, and by then Pochettino may have decided against Cucurella, who hasn’t been particularly impressive lately. Of course, another loan—that of Cesare Casadei—is the second deal that is rumored to be close.
Genoa and Leicester City have requested that Chelsea loan out the 20-year-old midfielder to them this season, according to a report from Sky Italy, which was cited by Football Italia. Following his impressive performances for Italy at the Under-20s World Cup, Casadei has received a lot of attention.
Before Uruguay stopped them in their tracks, Casadei, who switched from the San Siro to Stamford Bridge last summer, led his nation to the final in Argentina. Despite failing at the very last hurdle, he had a fantastic tournament, winning both the player of the tournament award and the golden boot.
Then, this summer in the United States, he performed well with the first team. However, it might be difficult for him to get playing time given that Tyler Adams and Moises Caicedo are reportedly on Chelsea’s shortlist. At this point, a loan seems like the best course of action for him.
