Chelsea have made an ‘official bid’ to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Sancho is free to leave Old Trafford on deadline day, though Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag said on Friday afternoon that he expects the 24-year-old to stay.
The winger’s future at the club has been in question since falling out with the manager 12 months ago.
He spent the second half of last season on loan with Borussia Dortmund before resolving his differences and returning to United.
So far, Sancho’s only appearance this term has been as a substitute in the Community Shield and he has not featured in their Premier League matchday squads.
When asked if he expected Sancho to stay at the club, Ten Hag told reporters: “As I know, yeah.
“He’s playing in our squad, we’re happy with him. We need a good squad, we need depth in the squad.
“We have to play many games until January. The new format of Europe, after the break we will play every third day. We need options.”
Jadon Sancho future: Man Utd receive bid from Chelsea
Despite Ten Hag’s expectations, it has been reported by Fabrizio Romano that Chelsea have submitted a loan bid to sign Sancho, who is “open” to the move.
Romano wrote on X: “Chelsea submit official bid to Manchester Utd for Jadon Sancho.
“Understand it’s initial loan proposal, similar to terms offered by Juventus but total package higher.
“Sancho, OPEN and keen to joining Chelsea so up to the clubs/Man Utd to decide.”
It has been reported elsewhere that Man Utd could sign attacking midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea in a separate deal.
Reports suggest that the Red Devils are currently ‘exploring a move’, with some claims stating that any transfer relies on Raheem Sterling.
Sterling is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and the Blues are reportedly trying to loan him out to Arsenal, who will not proceed if the finances are extreme.
