Chelsea are set to secure the signing of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, with a deal now confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The agreement will see Sancho move to Stamford Bridge on an initial loan, with Chelsea obligated to make the transfer permanent next summer.
The 24-year-old is expected to sign a long-term contract with the West London club following the completion of the move.
Details of the Transfer Agreement
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that all parties have agreed on the terms, with Sancho already giving the green light for the transfer. Manchester United accepted Chelsea’s proposal, marking the end of Jadon Sancho’s turbulent three-year spell at Old Trafford.

The deal signifies another major addition to Chelsea’s squad, following a summer of significant spending that has also brought in players like Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Jadon Sancho’s Last Season and the Road Ahead
Sancho’s move to Chelsea comes after a challenging period at Manchester United, where he spent the second half of the last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
His return to Germany was precipitated by a fallout with United manager Erik ten Hag, leading to his temporary exile from the first team.
Despite returning to training earlier this summer, Sancho was left out of United’s squad for their opening Premier League games this season.
While Sancho’s transfer to Chelsea is a significant development, his deadline day move will be too late for him to feature in Chelsea’s upcoming match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
However, fans can look forward to seeing him in action soon as he begins this new chapter in his career at Stamford Bridge.
