According to a report, Manchester United is “desperate” to offload the 25-year-old Jadon Sancho this summer, and the “big three” in the Saudi Pro League—Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al Nassr—are all “interested” in signing him.
Sancho is expected to return to Old Trafford at the conclusion of this month, as Chelsea elected to pay a penalty fee rather than offer him a permanent contract.
Sancho transferred from Manchester to London on the final day of the transfer window last summer in order to secure a season-long loan with the Blues. In the event that Chelsea achieved a final position of 15th or higher in the Premier League table, an obligation clause was incorporated, which would be valued between £20-25 million, contingent upon their final position.
The obligation was established at £25 million when Chelsea confirmed a fourth-place position on the final day of the season, thereby securing Champions League qualification. Nevertheless, the West London club included a cancellation charge of £5 million that they could pay if they chose to renege on the agreement.
Additionally, Chelsea implemented this alternative to return Sancho to United at the conclusion of his loan agreement following unsuccessful negotiations with his representatives regarding a permanent transfer to Stamford Bridge.
In recent years, Chelsea has implemented an incentive-based pay structure that Sancho was unwilling to accept. He preferred to maintain his compensation packet at Old Trafford, which is estimated to be worth approximately £300,000 per week.
In contrast, Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s most significant player and one of the most talented forwards in the Premier League, receives an estimated £130,000 per week at Stamford Bridge.
According to The Mirror, United were even “involved in the discussions” to determine whether INEOS would “pay off some of the wages left on [Sancho’s] deal” in order to facilitate the transfer to Chelsea. However, Old Trafford officials “decided not to intervene” despite the club’s desperate need to permanently relocate the winger.
A permanent departure from Manchester will be exceedingly challenging if Sancho is unwilling to compromise on this remuneration.
The Mirror maintains that “no top European clubs will consider signing the player on those wages, and Sancho has demonstrated by refusing to accept a pay cut at Chelsea that he still desires to earn the same as he does at Old Trafford.”
Consequently, the claim indicates that Sancho is most likely to relocate to Saudi Arabia this summer, with Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al Nassr all contemplating a move.
Ruben Amorim has “no intention of reintegrating the player into his squad,” despite the fact that the three clubs that finished first (Al-Ittihad), second (Al-Hilal), and third (Al Nassr) in the Saudi Pro League this season are “interested” in reaching a deal with United.
The possibility that Sancho has “connections to high-profile figures” in Saudi Arabia who could “assist in brokering a deal” is further bolstered, and INEOS would consider it one of the most promising deals of the summer if it occurs.
