Jadon Sancho identified to replace Florian Wirtz
The former England international is currently on loan with Chelsea, however it’s looking like the London-based side are aiming to back out of their obligation to buy at the end of the season.
With an obligatory transfer fee of £25 million, Chelsea are strongly considering triggering the £5 million penalty fee to pull out of the deal.
As such, the former Dortmund winger could be available to head back to the Bundesliga, with United having no interest re-integrating him into their squad.
During his time with Dortmund over his two spells in the Bundesliga, Sancho has registered 53 goals and 67 assists in 158 games, giving him a better goal contribution rate that Wirtz.
Leverkusen will be hoping that a move back to Germany for Sancho will help to kickstart his career once more, helping to less the loss of Wirtz’ seemingly imminent departure.
