Enzo Maresca offered chance to sign £275,000K-per-week Manchester United star who wants to leave
Simon Phillips claims that Chelsea has been offered the chance to sign Jadon Sancho, a winger for Manchester United, but has declined the offer.
The England international, who also failed to have a significant impact at Old Trafford, has struggled to find playing time at Manchester United, although he made an impression while on loan at Borussia Dortmund in the second half of the previous campaign.
Sancho’s future is now unknown, although one would think he would be well served to stay at Dortmund—the only drawback being that the agreement might be too costly for the Bundesliga’s biggest clubs.
Chelsea might afford to take a chance on Sancho because they have a little more money to invest, but it doesn’t appear like they’re interested in doing so.
Given that Sancho has been so disappointing in his time in the Premier League, it makes sense that they’ve decided this isn’t a gamble worth taking.
Sancho transfer: Could the Man Utd winger be a good signing for Chelsea?
Sancho at his best can undoubtedly be a top player, as he’s shown in both spells at Dortmund, and if he could show the kind of form he showed in Germany he’d surely be an upgrade on the likes of Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke.
United will no doubt be keen to offload Sancho this summer, but it seems they’re not going to be able to persuade CFC to take the player on, so one imagines they’ll try out some other options as well.
Chelsea may live to regret not accepting this opportunity if Sancho goes on to have another strong season, but it’s also understandable that he’s not a priority for them right now, as they’ll surely feel there is better value elsewhere for more long-term options and younger talents for both the present and future.
