activate the clause to make Jadon Sancho’s transfer from Manchester United permanent, according to reports from CaughtOffside.
The Blues remain optimistic about Sancho’s acquisition after his loan spell at Stamford Bridge, with insiders describing the decision as a “smart investment.”
While the England international has yet to consistently showcase his best form, recent performances have shown signs of improvement. Chelsea has no plans to pay the £5 million penalty to cancel the deal.
Despite struggling to make an impact during his time at Manchester United, Sancho’s talent, first recognized during his impressive stint at Borussia Dortmund, continues to fuel hopes for his future.
Chelsea believes they can maximize his potential, with the intention of integrating him into their first-team squad for the next campaign rather than opting for a sale.
The initial agreement with United stipulated that Sancho’s move would become permanent if Chelsea finished 15th or higher, a condition that has now been met.
The club is willing to pay the full £25 million fee, with the belief that the winger’s market value significantly exceeds this figure.
Even though there are currently no plans to sell him, Chelsea is confident they could profit from his sale if the situation changed.
From United’s perspective, offloading Sancho, who failed to deliver during his tenure at Old Trafford, represents an opportunity to strengthen their attack with a high-caliber replacement this summer.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is expected to continue reshaping their squad, with Joao Felix rumored to be a potential departure, as his former club Benfica is reportedly preparing to bring him back.
