In quest of a new beginning away from Manchester United, Sancho went on loan to Chelsea last summer.
Chelsea can escape it by paying a £5 million (€6 million or $6.4 million) fine, but the Red Devils made sure to include a compulsory £20–25 million (up to €29 million or $32 million) purchase clause in the contract.
With four assists in his first three Premier League games, the forward had a strong start at Chelsea.
But in recent months, he has struggled to score goals and provide assists. Although Jadon and Blues manager Enzo Maresca get along well, club officials are worried about his ability to perform at the highest level.
In recent weeks, Chelsea executives have been considering their options regarding the left winger. The Sun claims that they have “notified” United that they will reimburse the £5 million fine and return the 25-year-old to Old Trafford this summer.
United is severely harmed by the decision since it forces them to come up with a new plan for the former Dortmund player. With Ruben Amorim at United, he has no future, reports Team Talk.
Chelsea is actively seeking a new left winger in light of Mykhailo Mudryk’s uncertain future.
