Chelsea have paid £5 million in compensation and opted to refuse to buy Jadon Sancho and send him back to Manchester United. According to the Daily Mirror, Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim also has no intention of accommodating the 25-year-old England winger, especially as the team has signed Cunha and is in talks over a move for Mbeumo and will not have a place for Jadon Sancho.
Sancho's permanent transfer talks with Chelsea have broken down largely due to the lack of salary negotiations, with him refusing to reduce his salary by 50 per cent. After joining Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund for £73 million, his weekly salary has been mixed, with the highest being more than £300,000, but the general saying is that it is not less than £250,000.
Unlike his good friend Marcus Rashford, Sancho will not agree to a pay cut wherever he moves. According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, if Rashford can join Barcelona, he will be willing to reduce his income in order to realize the dream of Camp Nou. But Sancho "does not recognize his six relatives" and will not compromise with anyone.
Now, Jadon Sancho is back at Manchester United, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS taking over the hot potato. Jadon Sancho still has one year left on his contract, and during Ten Hag's tenure, the England controversy player has shown that he doesn't mind playing without the ball for long periods of time, and his earnings are not affected anyway.
With Europe's top clubs unlikely to be willing to pay Sancho £250,000 a week, a move to the Saudi Arabian Pro League would make it possible to maintain his current income. It is said that the three Saudi giants Riyadh Crescent, Riyadh Victory and Jeddah National are interested in him.
Sancho has been linked to prominent figures in the Saudi Pro League, which could have helped to broker the deal. However, a move to Saudi Arabia would be his bottom-up option, with the Manchester United star set to consider joining European teams, particularly the Premier League. The Red Devils only need £12 million to sell after receiving £5 million compensation from Chelsea, and they can avoid losses under the Premier League's PSR profitability and sustainability rules.
British media "SportsBoom" revealed that Sancho wants to stay in England, he believes that at this stage of his career should stay in the Premier League instead of transferring to the Middle East to pan for gold, and the player has not given up on the dream of playing in the World Cup next summer, staying in the Premier League has a better chance of attracting the attention of England coach Tuchel.
West Ham, who had expressed interest in Jadon Sancho for a while, have decided to give up because there has been so much controversy about his professional attitude. It is reported that Manchester United tried to manipulate the swap plan between Sancho and Mohamed Kudus, but the "Hammers" boss Graham Potter rejected both proposals to bring in or exchange.
European teams interested in it now include Aston Villa, Napoli, AC Milan and Juventus. According to Teamtalk, Villa, Napoli and Milan are all interested in signing Jadon Sancho this summer; Italian media "Il Bianconero" said that Juventus, who tried to sign Jadon Sancho on loan last year, have also rejoined the competition.
However, given Sancho's level of performance and his attitude, no European side will match the salary United have given him, so Rajue and his team may have to accept a deal to compensate for the difference in wages, which is less than a direct termination or a year's salary for him to remain at the club. Based on a 25% reduction in the weekly salary of £250,000, it is also nearly £10 million a season.
