Chelsea pays £ 5 million - Sancho returns to Manchester!

Manchester, England - The Chelsea FC is facing an unexpected turn in the Jadon Sancho personnel. According to Laola1 , the association could not agree on a permanent contract with the loan player. Chelsea does not want to take over the salary of the 25-year-old professional, which he currently receives from Manchester United.

Sancho will return to Manchester United for the time being after a year in London. But the return to the Old Trafford remains uncertain because there were conflicts between Sancho and his former coach Erik Ten Hag. Chelsea now has to pay a withdrawal fee of 5 million pounds (approx. 6.4 million euros) to Manchester United because they withdraw from the purchase obligation.

no agreement with Chelsea

The negotiations ultimately failed due to personal conditions for a final change, which means that Sancho is now looking for new options in both England and Europe before deciding on its future. A report by New York Times emphasizes that Chelsa had imposed a purchase obligation of up to 25 million pounds, but was not put into action. Although the financial aspects are complicated, coach Maresca regrets that a permanent obligation has not been made. Sancho was a key player for Chelsea, scored five goals in 42 games and gave ten templates and helped the team to secure fourth place in the Premier League, which means qualification for the Champions League for the coming season.

In the past few months, Sancho has been popular with Chelsea and played a decisive role in the UEFA Conference League final against Real Betis, where he scored a goal. He played a total of 83 games for Manchester United and came into the team in 2021 for a record of 85 million pounds from Borussia Dortmund. Before that, he went through the youth academies of Watford and Manchester City.

transfer editions of the Premier League

These developments take place against the background of the continued high transfer editions of the Premier League. In the seasons from 2005/2006 to 2024/2025, the total edition and revenue of the clubs in the Premier League were remarkable sums. According to an analysis of Statista , the clubs have repeatedly broken records during this period. These financial framework also influence strategic decisions such as those of Chelsea in the Sancho case.

Opportunities for a return to Manchester United not only depend on possible conflicts, but also on the personnel situation of the association, which has already strengthened with Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton and is interested in Bryan Mbumo von Brentford. A return to the club remains exciting and could develop in the coming weeks.
