Last summer, Jadon Sancho joined Chelsea on loan from Manchester United. Now, the Blues are keen to keep him in the squad, but the situation remains up in the air.
Both parties are discussing the winger’s future. Key figures in Chelsea’s management want to retain Sancho, but are offering him a reduced salary. It is still unclear whether Jadon Sancho will agree to these terms.
It is noted that Chelsea has an obligation to buy the English winger for £25 million. The club can also pay Manchester United a £5 million penalty fee to opt out of the purchase clause.
Reminder: The Londoners have also shown interest in 22-year-old Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite. The defender is ready to join a club competing in the Champions League, making Chelsea his top priority.
