After weeks of interest, multiple sources have confirmed that AL Qadisiyah have tabled a formal bid for Andrey Nascimento dos Santos. The Chelsea midfielder has been attracting interest from across the league in recent weeks, with an opening offer marking a clear intent to get the deal done before the market intensifies. But it remains to be seen whether this opening bid will be enough to tempt a move away. While Man Utd and West Ham have shown interest, AL Qadisiyah currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. So far this season, AL Qadisiyah are steady at both ends (2.0 goals scored per game, 1.0 goals conceded per game). The role for Andrey Nascimento dos Santos would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Chelsea have also been linked with Denzel Dumfries, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Ishe Samuels-Smith while AL Qadisiyah are reportedly monitoring Julian Weigl.
