Jadon Sancho is currently valued at £25 million and Chelsea could immediately buy him as the clause between them and Man United has been activated. 25 million pounds is not too big a number for Chelsea, but whether Sancho is still in line with the Blues' development direction or not is uncertain.
Last week, Chelsea had a spectacular comeback against Fulham. That victory in the London Derby helped Enzo Maresca and his team confidently finish the season in the top 15 position. In the loan deal with Sancho from Man United, Chelsea had to commit to a number of terms to buy the English striker. One of those conditions is that the London team finishes the Premier League this season in 15th place or higher.
Currently, it can be simply understood that Chelsea are stuck in having to buy Sancho. However, if The Blues are determined not to do this, they only need to pay a penalty to Man United and that's it. That figure is £5 million, not much for a rich team like Chelsea.
Currently, Mykhailo Mudryk has not set a return date after being suspected of using doping. Meanwhile, with uncertainty about Jadon Sancho, Chelsea are speeding up the search for other wingers. The Blues have reached an agreement to recruit Geovany Quenda (Sporting Lisbon). The striker will join Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2026. Meanwhile, Brazil's youngster Estevao Willian ( Palmeiras) will arrive this summer after reaching a deal to join in the summer of 2024.
As for Jadon Sancho, he has made 27 appearances this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists in the Premier League. In the Conference League arena, the English star has had 5 assists, contributing to making Chelsea the team that is considered the strongest in the tournament.
Last weekend in the London Derby against Fulham, Jadon Sancho came off the bench to replace Noni Madueke. The star's performance at the M.U club is at a level that is flawless.
"I will focus all on the next 9 matches in the next 2 months, nothing else. Then, what comes in the summer transfer window, we need to wait and see.
Jadon Sancho's situation has not changed. In terms of statistics, he could have done better. Not only Sancho, but we have many other players in similar conditions that need to be considered" - Enzo Maresca shared.
Although it may be punished if not buying Sancho this summer, Chelsea did not suffer any pressure. There will be no official decision on the future of the British striker until the 2024-2025 season ends. The current focus of Chelsea is the top 5 race in the Premier League and winning the Conference League, the arena they are considered the strongest.
