The surprise clause in Jadon Sancho’s contract at Chelsea…

In an unexpected move, Jadon Sancho has decided to sign for Chelsea, but this move hides an interesting feature: a clause that allows the player to return to Manchester United under certain conditions. Of course, if Chelsea do not finish in the top 14 of the Premier League, Sancho could return to the Red Devils, and the London club would not be obliged to make the final purchase.

This provision provides Sancho with a form of ‘insurance’ in the event of Chelsea’s poor results, despite the club’s unlikely finish. The clause reflects both the caution of the player, who is hoping to relaunch his career after a lackluster career at Manchester United, and the uncertainty surrounding the Blues’ season.

On Chelsea’s side, Sancho’s arrival represents a bet on his ability to revive the attack, but also a kind of caution despite the dangers of an unstable season. If they did not reach a place in the top half of the table it would be a failure for a club that has increased its investments in recent years.
