The 24-year-old winger joined Chelsea on loan in the summer, but the Blues were obligated to sign him on a permanent deal next summer, provided they finish in the top 14 of the Premier League table.
The deal is understood to be worth an initial £20m, with the potential to increase to an additional £25m.
Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Sancho has made five appearances for Chelsea, making a positive impact off the bench. He provided the assist for Christopher Nkunku’s late winner against Bournemouth in September, and also provided assists in the wins over West Ham and Brighton.
However, the England international has been sidelined in recent weeks due to illness and minor injuries.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praised Sancho’s adaptation to the club’s attacking style of play, which the player himself described as “very attractive” and well suited to his strengths. .
Despite Sancho’s promising start in west London, his long-term future remains uncertain. Former Southampton and West Ham defender Jose Fonte Amorim is set to become Old Trafford’s new manager and believes the player can get a “fresh start” at Manchester United next summer.
Fonte said: “Jadon Sancho will have the chance to impress Ruben Amorim in the summer, because this is a new start and a new opportunity for everyone. Something might work out between him and Amorim because he knows exactly what he’s looking for. He also likes to give his number 10 the freedom to be creative, which is exactly what Sancho does. That’s what he needs. It could be a great opportunity for him.”
Manchester United parted ways with Erik ten Hag last month following a poor start to the 2024/25 season. Amorim, who previously managed Sporting CP, will officially take over as manager of the Red Devils after the international break and his first game will be against the Red Devils. Town of Ipswich.
If Chelsea fail to meet the criteria to make Sancho’s loan move permanent next summer, the player could return to Manchester United, a move that would favor Amorim, who is known for his attacking philosophy and ability to develop young talent. You may have a chance to make an impression.
Sancho’s time at Old Trafford has been a mixed bag since his £73m move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
After a difficult start, the winger showed glimpses of his quality, but ultimately failed to establish himself as a consistent performer under various managers.
Sancho continues to strive to rediscover his best form during his loan spell at Chelsea, but the next chapter of his career remains uncertain.
The player’s future could depend on whether the Blues exercise their option to make his contract permanent, or whether he gets a fresh start under Manchester United manager Amorim.
