The only thing that has been certain with Jadon Sancho is that the 25-year-old will refuse to return to Old Trafford, Manchester United management also do not want the club’s misinvestment of £73 million from 2021 back in the squad. The Chelsea manager has always stated that he has no idea if Sancho will play for the Blues next season, at the latest the day before the Conference League final. Then Sancho sparkled when it mattered most, and we have a new ball game.
Sancho started very promisingly in January, when he was sent on loan to Chelsea, but has had a declining form, which has raised questions about the London club dropping the £25m purchase obligation and buying out for around £5m to avoid signing Sancho on a permanent basis.

In the Conference League, Sancho helped turn around Real Betis’ shock opening with a goal after nine minutes. With seven minutes remaining in the final, Sancho scored and punctuated the game with the 1-3 goal (ended 1-4).
According to Sky Sports, Chelsea management and Sancho went straight from the celebration of the title to the negotiating table, where they now sit and negotiate the personal terms. The English media claims Chelsea strongly considered buying out of the deal with United, but the final victory was convincing.

Sancho’s £250,000-a-week salary at United should be crossed out, the 25-year-old’s salary terms should fit into Chelsea’s wage structure. This will be a completely new start for Sancho, with fewer pounds in his salary account he will probably be able to survive with.
