Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United this summer, potentially facing competition from Juventus.
Sancho’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain, despite his recent return to the squad after a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea make move for Jadon Sancho
Despite settling his dispute with boss Erik Ten Hag, the 24-year-old was left out of the matchday squad that got defeated by Brighton & Hove Albion over the weekend, fueling speculations of a move away from the club.
To facilitate a move for Sancho, Chelsea may need to offload several players.
The Blues are open to including one of their own players in a potential exchange deal, with Raheem Sterling being a possible candidate, according to reports from Daily Mail.
Sterling has fallen out of favor under manager Enzo Maresca, having been exiled from the senior team, with other players on this outcast list, including left-back Ben Chilwell.
A deal for Sancho would add to Chelsea’s already substantial attacking options. However, the Blues are still actively in pursuit of a new striker this summer, and their ability to sign Sancho may depend on their success in that area.
