English winger Jadon Sancho has completed his move to Chelsea subject to Premier League ratification. According to reports, Manchester United have agreed on several conditions with Chelsea for the obligated fee after his loan deal expires.
Jadon Sancho’s deadline-day move to Chelsea went to the wire with the London club placing a deal sheet into the Premier League to complete all the paperwork for a loan deal with the obligation to buy.
Manchester United were determined to get favourable terms and it was understood that the Red Devils would only proceed with a deal on their terms with an obligation to buy vital in negotiations.
United have taken a hit on the £70 million plus fee that they spent on the former Borussia Dortmund winger in 2021.
The 24-year-old did not settle at Old Trafford and fell out of favour with Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag with a loan spell at Dortmund last campaign.
Key details revealed for Manchester United Sancho agreement with Chelsea
It was understood that the Red Devils initially wanted £40 million for the England international heading into the summer transfer window.
However, the Telegraph’s James Ducker has revealed the true price and conditions that Chelsea will pay after agreeing on a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
Taking to X, Ducker stated that “#CFC’s obligation to buy will be triggered if they finish in top 14 of PL this season. The purchase fee is between £20m & £25m depending on where #CFC finish. The higher they finish the higher the fee.”
