Chelsea are interested in signing one of Manchester United’s wingers this month, according to journalist Christopher Michel.
The Red Devils have had a good transfer window, signing Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui for a combined £140 million.
The club are now focused on recruiting a holding midfielder. Super-agent Jorge Mendes is working behind the scenes on a deal for Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
There could also be multiple exits before the transfer deadline on August 30 and Chelsea are reportedly interested in a surprise move for Sancho.
The Blues are open to negotiating a reduced transfer package while swapping two academy players.
The London outfit are also willing to sign Sancho on loan with an obligation to buy. They are prepared to cover his entire salary for the upcoming season.
Sancho moving to Chelsea would be a surprise
The 24-year-old had a public fall-out with manager Erik ten Hag in September last year. He was subsequently suspended before leaving for Borussia Dortmund on loan in January.
Sancho had a good stint on his return to the Bundesliga giants. He has now sorted out his differences with Ten Hag, but needs to fight for a spot in the starting line-up at United.
The Manchester City graduate was a late substitute for Marcus Rashford in the Community Shield last weekend. He could play a similar role until he makes a significant contribution.
Despite this, it would be surprising if United agreed to offload him to Chelsea. The Blues are more than capable of signing Sancho with the huge financial backing from their current owners.
However, it would not be good business for United unless they receive a straight-cash deal.
