Jadon Sancho is set to leave Chelsea after failing to agree on personal terms with the club, according to Fabrizio Romano. The winger, who played for Manchester United before joining Chelsea, is expected to return to his former club. Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly finalised the deal, with Chelsea paying a £5m penalty clause, as reported by @TheAthleticFC.
Sancho, an attacking midfielder or winger known for his pace and skill on the pitch, has had a mixed spell at Chelsea since his transfer. Prior to his move to Chelsea, Sancho was a key player for Manchester United, showcasing his ability to create scoring opportunities. His style of play is characterised by his dribbling skills and vision on the pitch.
The development comes after reports of loan talks between Chelsea and Manchester United earlier in the summer window. Chelsea had been deciding on Sancho’s future, with previous reports suggesting a decision would be made within 48 hours. Sancho had expressed his thoughts on joining Chelsea and had also praised the club’s manager, Maresca, during his time there.
