Chelsea will have a big decision to make this summer when it comes to what the future of one of their players will look like from next season.
Jadon Sancho is currently on loan at the club from Manchester United, with the original expectation being that he would join permanently at the end of the campaign.
However, chiefs at the club have been disappointed with Sancho’s impact since joining the club, and it has emerged that they can pay a small fee to not exercise the obligation to sign him.

The winger is without a goal in 2025, however has found himself picking up plenty of minutes in the absence of Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson.
The England international has by all accounts been a good teammate in his time at Stamford Bridge. Sancho has had an impact on Tyrique George, who has come through the academy to now be competing with him for minutes in the first team.

Chelsea could make instant profit on Jadon Sancho
Sancho is keen on a move to Borussia Dortmund, the side who he has made the biggest impact for in his career despite the big-money move back to the Premier League.
The Bundesliga side have been big fans of the player since he was on loan there last season, however they have just undergone a change of manager amid their rough season so far.
However, Graeme Bailey has exclusively told The Chelsea Chronicle that Dortmund remain big fans of Sancho and would still be willing to sign him should the opportunity arise.

He said: “It really is a possibility that Chelsea sign him and sell him on. In theory, they might only make £5m profit, but PSR wise when you sell someone you get that as immediate profit, so it would be tidy for Chelsea PSR wise.
“They [Borussia Dortmund] want him back. There’s going to be a bit of a reboot there. We know Chelsea like Jamie Gittens as well. Does that help grease those wheels in the future? Wouldn’t rule it out.”

Chelsea’s £275m PSR dodge
Reports surrounding Chelsea’s latest accounts have begun to surface, with them stating that the Blues have recorded net profits of around £130m.
The majoirty of this number has come via selling the Chelsea women’s team to their parent company, in a shifting of assets that is not dissimilar to their past actions.
A lot was made when the Blues sold a number of hotels and car parks in the surrounding area to Stamford Bridge to themselves in order to remain on the right side of PSR, with their total raised from those two reaching around £275m.
Finance expert Adam Williams told The Chelsea Chronicle that while selling Sancho instantly would see them make immediate profit, it is not a sustainable method of working for the Blues financially.
He said: “Interesting angle from Graeme. It makes sense on paper. Only thing is that Chelsea can’t keep kicking the can down the road.
“They’d book an instant profit, true, but it’s not a free hit as you still have to amortise the value of the signing over the next five years and their amortisation costs (which is what PSR is based on) are mental, probably around £250m annually, though we won’t have that confirmed until we have the full accounts.”
