According to Santos, the Italy international has no intention of dumping the Blues this summer.
Santos divulged that the ex-Napoli star has an active deal with the Thomas Tuchl-tutored side, and the plan is actually to negotiate a new contract.
"Chelsea are the priority," Santos told Tuttomercatoweb per Metro UK.
"His contract will expire in 2023, I think we will talk about the renewal from September," he added.
The development will come as a major boost for Chelsea, especially after a number of first-team players dumped the club this summer.
Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen top the list of high-profile players who have quit, with Romelu Lukaku also recently sealing a return to Inter Milan on loan.
