Jadon Sancho and Chelsea have parted ways after the 25-year-old spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Stamford Bridge

But it would still require a deal between Chelsea and the player, which has failed to materialise, and opens up the door to Sancho’s departure. If the west London club opted against the acquisition they would face a £5million ($6.

Chelsea opt not to buy Jadon Sancho permanently and will instead pay a £5m penalty for him to return to Manchester United.
