Chelsea have the option to withdraw from their obligation to buy Jadon Sancho for £25m in the summer, but doing so would require them to pay Manchester United a £5m fee. Despite his inconsistent form, Sancho remains in Chelsea’s plans for now, with the club’s interest in signing a new winger more related to Mykhailo Mudryk’s situation rather than doubts over Sancho’s future.
Sancho initially impressed at Chelsea, providing three assists in his first three Premier League games, but his impact has waned, with just two goals and one assist in his last 20 league matches. Manager Enzo Maresca has praised Sancho’s consistency, despite a brief spell out due to illness, and has stated that he expects him to continue improving.
Chelsea’s decision on Sancho’s future will likely be influenced by his performances in the final stretch of the season. The club remains in the hunt for a Champions League spot, sitting fourth in the Premier League ahead of Manchester City, with a crucial clash against Tottenham on April 3.
