Jadon Sancho chooses Chelsea as his preferred next club with Man Utd ‘agreement’ at risk of collapse

The race for Jadon Sancho is turning into one of the most dramatic stories of the transfer window, with Chelsea and Juventus battling it out for the Manchester United winger.

The Red Devils have been willing to sanction the 23-year-old’s exit all summer despite him settling his differences with manager Erik ten Hag.

Jadon Sancho wants Chelsea move
The Guardian’s report claims that Sancho is ‘holding out for an offer from Chelsea’ as he weighs up his next move.

“But if we can sign a player who can help us, for sure I want it. I know Jadon very well from many years with [Manchester] City. I know him very well. But he is not our player. We will see what happens.”

Man Utd have been holding out for around £40m for Sancho and their asking price isn’t thought to have changed.

Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to work on a deal for Napoli centre-forward Victor Osimhen and TEAMtalk sources say they are growing in confidence that they will sign the Nigerian international.
