Man United and England ace on £250k p/w is a shock summer target for Chelsea

Although it appears that all is well at Man United in terms of Jadon Sancho being part of the first-team squad for 2024/25, it does appear to be a genuine possibility that the Red Devils will listen to offers for the former England international.

Sancho has been one of the success stories of United’s pre-season, coming off the back of a brilliant half-season with Borussia Dortmund, where he helped the Bundesliga giants into another Champions League final.

Chelsea looking to land Jadon Sancho

International honours may well beckon again for Sancho if his current form continues, however, he might not be plying his trade at Old Trafford for much longer.

According to Fussball News, the 25-year-old, who earns a whopping £250,000 per week at United (Capology), is a shock summer target for Premier League rivals, Chelsea.

The outlet note that a transfer fee and two academy players would be offered to the Red Devils, and if that weren’t acceptable, a loan deal with obligation to buy, and where the Blues would cover his full salary, is an alternative scenario.

For Erik ten Hag the question that remains after seeing how well Sancho has integrated back into the United first-team set-up is whether he can now afford to be without Sancho’s services.

There’s always the possibility of another issue further down the line with the winger, but whether that would be enough to sanction a sale to a direct rival is a moot point. Particularly if Sancho were to hit the ground running with the Blues and show ten Hag what he’s missing.

With two weeks left to go in the summer transfer window, there’s plenty of time to get a deal over the line, and supporters of both clubs will likely be watching the developments in this story with a great degree of interest.
