Chelsea: ‘Reason’ for signing Jadon Sancho surfaces as Man Utd are ‘presented with two bids’

Jadon Sancho could leave Manchester United.
A report from Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol has revealed the ‘reason’ why Chelsea are trying to sign Jadon Sancho from Premier League rivals Manchester United.
A striker is considered the final piece of the jigsaw for Chelsea, who are already have plenty of wingers and attacking midfielders to choose from.
Despite this, it has emerged that Chelsea are pushing to sign England international Sancho from Man Utd.
Sancho featured heavily for Man Utd during pre-season, but he was not involved in either of their opening two Premier League games of the 2024/25 campaign.
Solhekol meanwhile claims “the reason” for Chelsea signing Sancho is that it is “an opportunistic move”.
“Chelsea have been in talks to sign Sancho and now they have put in a bid to take him on loan with an obligation to buy him next summer,” Solhekol said.
“Some Chelsea fans will be thinking whether they really need to sign Jadon Sancho, with the club having already signed wingers like Pedro Neto and Joao Felix this summer, with Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and even Raheem Sterling at the club, and with Sancho not appearing to be in Erik ten Hag’s plans at Manchester United.
“I think the reason Chelsea are going for him is that it’s an opportunistic move. Sancho would be available for a sensible fee and, on his day, he’s a very good player – he played in the Champions League final for Borussia Dortmund in June, and three years ago he was an £85million player.
“If Enzo Maresca thinks he can get the best out of him, I think the Chelsea owners will back him.”
