Chelsea confirmed Jadon Sancho He joins their attacking options from Manchester United on Saturday with an initial loan deal that will be made permanent next season. The Blues completed their move for the England international in the final hours before Friday’s transfer deadline. United have cut their losses on the 24-year-old, who has failed to live up to his price tag since a £73 million ($96 million) move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
Chelsea will reportedly pay £25million to make the move permanent in the summer of 2025.
Sancho has not played a league match for United since posting on social media that he was being made a “scapegoat” for poor performances almost a year ago.
But he performed brilliantly during a loan spell at Dortmund in the second half of last season and helped the German giants reach the Champions League final.
Sancho has scored 12 goals in 83 appearances for the Red Devils and won just one trophy – the 2023 League Cup.
He becomes Chelsea’s 11th player of the summer transfer window, taking the number of players at the club to over 50.
