Chelsea’s current plan is to go through with signing Sancho at the end of the season. However, there are two competing perspectives within the club: one side believes Chelsea will immediately look to sell Sancho to make a profit, particularly with interest from Germany and Spain. The other side suggests he could stay as a squad option, given that several other players are expected to be sold this summer. While Chelsea have no immediate plans to break the obligation to buy, Sancho’s performances for the remainder of the season could influence whether they change course and trigger the exit clause.
- Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho for £25m this summer if they finish above 14th in the league.
- A clause exists that allows Chelsea to pay a fee to cancel the obligation, but the exact amount is unknown.
- Two conflicting views within Chelsea:
- One source says Chelsea will buy him but sell him immediately to interested clubs in Germany and Spain.
- The other source says he could stay for squad depth, with other players more likely to leave.
Chelsea have already verbally agreed personal terms with Sancho for a permanent deal. - Sancho’s performances for the rest of the season could determine whether Chelsea keep, sell, or back out of the deal.
