Chelsea Weighing Option to Avoid Jadon Sancho Obligation
Chelsea are reportedly evaluating whether to pay a substantial fee to avoid their commitment to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United this summer. The Blues had previously agreed to a deal that included an obligation to buy the winger at the end of his loan spell, but they are now reconsidering the move.
Sancho, who is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund after falling out with United manager Erik ten Hag, has shown glimpses of his old form in Germany. However, Chelsea’s leadership is uncertain about proceeding with the purchase, especially given the club’s financial considerations and Sancho’s inconsistent performances in the Premier League.
According to journalist Pete Hall, Chelsea may opt to negotiate an exit from their obligation by paying a significant sum to United rather than finalizing the transfer. This would allow them to redirect their resources toward other targets in the upcoming transfer window.
With United keen to offload Sancho permanently and Dortmund possibly interested in extending his stay, Chelsea’s final decision could shape the winger’s future. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as the summer window approaches.
