His name was mentioned among the potential arrivals to compensate for the departure of Kylian Mbappé. Jadon Sancho, the winger under contract with Manchester United until the end of 2026, ultimately did not join PSG. Nor did Juventus, where the Bianconeri seemed to have an advantage at the end of the transfer window, before abandoning this lead. It is therefore Chelsea, also in discussions with the Red Devils for several days, who won the bet.
Once announced at PSG, Sancho joins Chelsea on loan with mandatory purchase option
At 24, Jadon Sancho, in difficulty at Manchester United, joins Chelsea in the form of a loan with a mandatory purchase option. Although the official press release from the Blues does not specify the amount of the transaction, journalist Fabrizio Romano mentions an agreement around 23 million euros, to which is added 6 million euros in bonuses. For the former PSG target, it will now be a question of finding stability to take a step forward in his career.

Sancho: a complicated relationship with Manchester United
Recruited in 2021 by Manchester United for the sum of 85 million euros, the England international (23 caps, 3 goals) has seen his playing time gradually decrease. His public falling out with coach Erik ten Hag last season sealed his fate in the north of England. In the impasse at ManU, Sancho was loaned to Borussia Dortmund in January 2024, where he helped the team reach the Champions League final, ultimately lost to Real Madrid.
