Chelsea could sign Manchester United star Jadon Sancho to sell him
Manchester United are heading into a pivotal summer transfer window, with major squad decisions looming after a disappointing campaign. One of the most pressing dilemmas revolves around Jadon Sancho, once one of the club’s most expensive signings, but a player who has failed to establish himself at Old Trafford.
After a loan move to Dortmund last season, Sancho has been loaned to Chelsea this time around with an obligation to buy for £25 million. However, Football Insider had earlier reported that the club might send the winger back to Old Trafford by paying a penalty fee of £5 million.
Chelsea will trigger the obligation to buy Jadon Sancho
The same source has meanwhile reiterated that the Blues might sign him permanently as they are still in contention to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. However, they are set to sell him instantly in the summer after triggering the obligation to buy.

Sancho’s time at Manchester United hasn’t lived up to expectations, moments of brilliance have too often been overshadowed by inconsistency and underwhelming loan spells, including his current stint at Chelsea. Yet, beneath the surface of these struggles, Sancho’s raw talent is still undeniable.
His low centre of gravity and effortless dribbling allow him to glide past defenders with ease, while his quick feet and creative vision still echo the form that once made him a star at Borussia Dortmund. Yes, he’s been off form, but the pace, flair, and football intelligence remain. If he can rediscover his rhythm, Sancho could still have something special to offer.

What does this mean for United?
Man United are keen to offload Jadon Sancho and cut their losses after making a heavy investment in the winger. Initial rumours that Chelsea might pay the penalty fee to terminate the loan deal early sparked concern at Old Trafford. However, with the Blues now reportedly ready to trigger the £25 million obligation to buy clause, the situation appears to be tilting in United’s favour.
If Chelsea decide to sell him on immediately, a return to the Bundesliga could appeal to Sancho, particularly given his past success with Borussia Dortmund. What ultimately unfolds this summer remains to be seen, but United will be hoping the situation ends with a clean break.
