Chelsea Forced to Release Jadon Sancho Due to Wage Requirements - Sources claim
Turns out, Jadon Sancho's future with Chelsea isn't looking so hot – and it's not about his form or fitness. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have pulled the plug on making Sancho's stay permanent after they failed to agree on personal terms, ahem, namely the bloke's hefty salary.
So, come June 30, Ol' Sancho will pack his bags and make way back to Old Trafford on a permanent basis. Why, you ask? Well, it turns out Chelsea weren't willing to fork over the cash to meet Sancho's lofty wage expectations, despite their initial interest in a long-term deal.
The 25-year-old English winger, who scored 5 goals and dished out 10 assists in his 41 appearances for the Blues, previously joined them on a season-long loan with a £25 million buyout clause. Unfortunately, the wage disagreement proved to be an insurmountable hurdle that couldn't be crossed by both parties.
Funny enough, Sancho showed no signs of wanting to hang around at Man United either, fueling rumors that he could be eyeing a move elsewhere this summer.
Here are a few interesting tidbits you might fancy:
- Victor Osimhen: The Nigerian international won the Super Lig Golden Boot and is reportedly considering a permanent move to Galatasaray after an impressive season.
- Bruno Fernandes: The Portuguese midfielder turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi giants Al Hilal, with Man United apparently still top of their wish list.
- Jay-Jay Okocha: The Nigerian legend has urged Osimhen to seriously consider staying in Turkey due to the leadership opportunities and fan adoration he's experiencing at Galatasaray.
- Dario Essugo: The Portuguese star joined Chelsea from Sporting CP for a cool €22.3 million.
- Chelsea Quick Sell: The Blues are looking to offload up to 15 players as part of a massive summer clear-out, with squad overhaul on the horizon.
- Kovacic: The midfielder will miss the Club World Cup due to injury, while Ronaldo could secure a new deal at Man United, and Chelsea are reportedly keeping an eye on West Brom's Jarrad Gittens.
Despite Jadon Sancho's impressive performance in the Chelsea jersey, a disagreement on personal terms, particularly his high wage demands, led to the termination of discussions for a permanent move. Meanwhile, Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, who scored the Super Lig Golden Boot, has reportedly considered a permanent move to Galatasaray, marking a potential new chapter in European leagues, perhaps even challenging the premier league's supremacy.
