Chelsea fans are now split on the long-term future of Jadon Sancho, whose loan spell from Manchester United has seen some inconsistency from him. There are some who are calling for him to be signed permanently. Others feel the club should take advantage of an exit clause to send him back to United.
Sancho signed for the Blues on a season-long loan with a buy option for £25 million, subject to Chelsea ending the season higher than 14th in the Premier League. This is a requirement that has been met. However, a provision will allow the Blues to exercise an exit clause by paying a penalty of £5 million to Manchester United.
The winger’s form has been patchy. He began well, claiming three assists in his first three games, including a fine debut against Bournemouth. However, his form dipped, claiming just four goals and ten assists in 41 appearances overall.
Some supporters have been frustrated by his seeming lack of work rate, while others value his potential and initial contributions. Here are the comments from fans when they were asked if he should go or stay:
“Send him back just so we dont give united 25mil” this fan insisted.

“Send him back his wages can be spent on far better players” another argued.
“I’d keep him for the price he’s coming for. Want Mudryk gone and a new LW signed” this fan explained.
“Send him back get Eze.” another fan argued.
“Not gonna lie.. we need him cuz we’re now part of the UCL.. that’s a lot on its own man.. we need to rest some players and use some.. yunno what I mean” a fan insisted.
“We should keep, we need squad depth especially now that we’ll be playing in champions league” another agreed.
Where Will Sancho Go if He Leaves Chelsea?
If Chelsea does not make a permanent transfer, Manchester United are ready to sell Sancho,. There is interest said to be coming from Serie A clubs and Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Sancho himself is said to be willing to go back to the Bundesliga, where he previously had great success at Borussia Dortmund. As the Blues near the end of season analysis, they are in a dilemma.
Do they spend £25 million on a player whose form has been inconsistent or fork out £5 million to release him?
