Jadon Sancho is set to be on the move again this summer after Chelsea opted against signing the winger permanently.
Jadon Sancho’s long-term future doesn’t reside in west London, it turns out.
There were times during his loan spell when Sancho and Chelsea appeared a natural fit. He purred early on, building on the momentum regained at Signal Iduna Park during the back-end of 2023–24, and there didn’t seem to be any doubt that the Blues would opt to sign the winger permanently.
While Sancho played a leading role in the club’s Conference League success, his Premier League form throughout 2025 was indifferent at best. His contrasting fortunes in the two competitions left Chelsea with a dilemma, and a dispute over personal terms will ultimately lead to Sancho returning to Manchester United.
So, who will be there to pick up the pieces? With United unlikely to entertain a revival, Sancho is bound to seek an alternative route for potential rejuvenation.
