Chelsea agree to loan Deivid Washington to Santos
Chelsea have agreed to loan striker Deivid Washington to his former club Santos for the 2025 season. Washington, who was part of the Brazil side which won the Under-20 South America Championship over the weekend, is now expected to play alongside Neymar at Santos to continue his development. The league season in Brazil starts on March 29 and ends on December 21, but Chelsea have installed a break clause which can be triggered in the English summer. There is also no option to buy included and Santos will pay his salary. There is no loan fee involved. Advertisement Washington has made just three substitute appearances for the first team since joining from Santos for €16m (plus €4m in add-ons) in August 2023. Neymar, 33, agreed to join Santos on a six-month deal after the former Barcelona forward mutually agreed to terminate his contract with Saudi club Al Hilal. Meanwhile, Kendry Paez has arrived at the club's training base to start a period of acclimatising to European football ahead of officially completing a transfer to Chelsea in the summer. Chelsea agreed a fee (including add-ons) with Independiente del Valle in 2023 when he was just 16. He cannot formally complete the transfer until he turns 18, with his birthday coming in May. But FIFA rules do allow him to spend some time at the club beforehand to have a period of adaption, as long as he doesn't play for the club. This is just the start of his experience and he is expected to remain in Europe rather than go back to play for Independiente del Valle, which is what he has been doing since negotiations were Washington, Paez was also at the Under-20 South America Championships. He captained the side at the tournament but they were knocked out in the first group stage. GO DEEPER Kendry Paez, Ecuador's Chelsea-bound sensation: 'The bigger the challenge, the better he gets'
