Chelsea ‘ask £350k-a-week Sancho to sign new contract before £25m transfer’

CHELSEA have asked Jadon Sancho to agree to a new contract before completing a £25million transfer, according to reports.

The England international, 25, spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Stamford Bridge from Old Trafford.

Chelsea have a £25m obligation to buy Sancho in the summer transfer window.

However, they do have a £5m penalty clause to break out of the deal and escape the obligation.

Now Sky Sports News are reporting that the Blues are in negotiations with the winger's representatives over his future.

Chelsea most likely want Sancho to stay in West London.

However, Sky claim they will only sign him if he agrees to fit into the wage structure at the club.

Sancho earns a whopping £350,000 per week at United, where he has one year left on his current deal.

But part of the Todd Boehly regime is signing players on relatively low wages.
