Chelsea 和 Manchester United will face each other on Friday afternoon (16/5), at Stamford Bridge, in London, for the 37th and penultimate round of the 英超联赛积分榜. While on the field the teams are starring in a classic in London, off the field the teams are involved in an unusual situation.
According to journalist Simon Mullock, from the English newspaper The Mirror, Chelsea will pay a millionaire amount to return Jadon Sancho to Manchester United. The 25-year-old English winger is on loan from the Red Devils to the Blues during the 2024/25 season, but he has not excited the management of the blue team from London. In 40 games this season, Sancho has only scored four goals, three in the Premier League and one in the Conference League.
It is true that the striker has been in better form since the beginning of April – he has scored two goals and provided three assists in that period – but the tendency is that he will not stay at Stamford Bridge.
As stipulated in the contract, Chelsea will have to pay a fine of £5 million (R$37 million at the current exchange rate) to return Sancho to United, as they had signed an obligation to buy him for £25 million (R$188 million).
According to the English media, the Blues’ management would rather return the player to their rivals than keep him permanently, paying an additional R$150 million.
