Jadon Sancho has caught the attention of Chelsea, who is interested in making a last-minute move for the talented footballer. It has been reported that Chelsea has presented two offers to Manchester United, after agreeing on personal terms with Sancho. This unexpected turn of events comes as a surprise, considering Sancho's less-than-stellar performance during his time at Old Trafford.
The English player joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for a staggering £73 million, but failed to live up to expectations. After three years of underwhelming performances, Sancho was sent back to Dortmund on loan last season. Many believed that this would lead to a permanent return to his former club, but it seems that Chelsea has other plans.
United's manager, Erik ten Hag, previously stated that he had moved on from the clash he had with Sancho almost a year ago. However, the player was left out of the team's first two Premier League games, indicating that his future at the club was uncertain. This was further confirmed by reports that Ten Hag was open to selling Sancho if the opportunity arose.
Despite having a strong roster of attacking players, Chelsea expressed their interest in Sancho and are now in talks to secure a deadline-day deal. Enzo Maresca, the team's manager, is reportedly keen on bringing in the Manchester United "flop." According to Fabrizio Romano, Sancho has already agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, leaving only the final negotiation between the two clubs.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea are eager to reach an agreement, and the latter has made two separate offers to the former. One option would see Sancho join Chelsea on loan with a buyout option, while the other would include an obligation to buy, which is believed to be the preferred choice for United.
During his pre-match press conference, Ten Hag shared that he was satisfied with Sancho's performance and believed he would remain a part of the United squad even after the transfer deadline. He emphasized the importance of having a strong and deep squad, especially with the numerous games they have to play until January.
When asked if he expected Sancho to stay, Ten Hag confidently replied in the affirmative. It remains to be seen if Chelsea's pursuit of Sancho will be successful, as the clock ticks down to the transfer deadline. In the meantime, fans can only wait and see how this unexpected turn of events will unfold.
