Even though he is only 20 years old, midfielder Andrey Santos, from Strasbourg, France, is already planning a return to Brazilian football in the final stretch of his career. Although revealed by Vasco, the player said he made a promise to defend Corinthians at some point.
The reason is due to a request from the player’s wife, an avowed football fan. “Of course, in a return, later on, I will prioritize Vasco. But I made a promise to my wife to play for her team: Corinthians”, he said, in an interview with Cazé TV.
Andrey was revealed in 2022 and quickly gained prominence in the Rio team during the campaign to access Series A of the Brazilian Championship. As a result, he was traded to England, who already loaned him to Nottingham Forest, in the same country, and Strasbourg.
In France, the young Brazilian midfielder reacquainted himself with good football and accumulated relevant numbers this season. Although he is a midfielder, he has already scored five goals in nine matches played in the local first division.
