The Blues are not done and want to set the transfer window on fire until the last minute. Pedro Neto (Wolverhampton), João Félix (Chelsea), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Leicester), Filip Jørgensen (Villarreal), Omari Kellyman (Aston Villa), Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors), Renato Veiga (FC Basel), Caleb Wiley (Atlanta), Marc Guiu (FC Barcelona) and Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham)… This summer again, Chelsea recruited in all directions and did not hesitate to take out the checkbook, spending a little less than 300 million euros to attract all these great people to Stamford Bridge. It must be said that the Blues, after several disappointing seasons, are launching a new cycle with Enzo Maresca on the bench. And as is usual when a new coach arrives, there is a small revolution at stake. The first team squad has around forty players and it’s not over yet as the Italian coach has made it known that he wants to work with a smaller squad. But it’s another offensive track that will be completed.

And as the media indicated The Telegraphthe Blues were aggressive on the Jadon Sancho file. However, it was Juventus who were very advanced. But ultimately, the Turinese did not manage to find common ground. A failed deal that benefits European competition. No formal agreement is yet in place, but the situation is evolving in a positive direction according to several English media. The reconciliation with Ten Hag will not have been enough to stay at Untited: “As we said, we set limits. Manchester United needs good players and Jadon is a good player. We have drawn that line and we are moving forward. We have spoken well. Everyone can make a mistake. If the player wants, we can draw a line under it and move on. This club needs good players, and one thing is for sure: Jadon Sancho is a very good player. I hope we can get along and he can contribute to our success.”Erik ten Hag explained.

An agreement is very close!

The outcome of this summer case is beginning to take shape. According to information from The AthleticChelsea are expected to reach an agreement with Manchester United to sign Jadon Sancho before the transfer window closes this summer. What about the intentions of the main person concerned? The 24-year-old attacker is interested in a transfer following interest from the Stamford Bridge residents. After a promising second half of the season with Dortmund, Jadon Sancho has been linked with a large number of European clubs (Paris, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, etc.). However, according to Sky Sports This Friday, it is Chelsea who seem to be holding the lead at the moment. This information is somewhat surprising, at a time when the Blues already have Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Mykhaïlo Mudryk, Pedro Neto and Joao Felix as wingers. The formula for the operation is not known, however. It could therefore be a dry transfer, three years after Sancho signed with the Red Devils for 85 million euros, or a loan.

Having been reinstated to the first team, Jadon Sancho has been left out of the Red Devils’ first two Premier League games, which Ten Hag said was due to an ear infection and the difficulties of finding places for everyone in his squad. At least that was the Dutch coach’s defence. It is true that the attacking competition is fierce on the Mancunian front. Manchester United have a wide range of attacking options with Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Amad Diallo among the options at Erik Ten Hag’s disposal, while striker Joshua Zirkzee was signed from Bologna in the summer. The two English clubs now have a few hours to complete this transaction. In any case, it is one of the hottest files on the European transfer window alongside Victor Osimhen, also on the Blues’ agenda.
