A saga surrounding the future of winger Jadon Sancho has been unfolding, and an unexpected twist seems to be on the horizon.
According to Football Insider, Chelsea does intend to buy out Sancho’s contract from Manchester United. However, the plan is not to retain him but to sell him immediately.
It remains unclear whether Chelsea would be required to pay a £5 million penalty for opting out of the obligation to buy Sancho’s contract if another club purchases him directly from Manchester United.
In related news, it was previously reported that Sancho is considering a return to Borussia Dortmund. However, it’s still uncertain whether the German club can afford the transfer, particularly if they fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
