Manchester United's Premier League competitors might make an offer, according to reports.
Chelsea's pay for one of Manchester United's big-money border players is officially in the works.
The Red Devils and Music have both made the biggest moves in the transfer glass thus far, with Chelsea signing ten fresh eyes for the club for a combined sum of £140million for Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs De Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui.
In the event that a Manchester United player has been strongly linked with an leave this summer, the two rivals might presently meet at the table to discuss a deal.
Since returning from a powerful magic at his former club Borussia Dortmund, Jadon Sancho's potential has been in the public eye. Although he has made up with Ten Hag after the couple split last year, he has been linked with Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
However, according to The Athletic, Old Trafford leaders" feeling Chelsea does create an strategy" for the 24-year-old, with Manchester United valued him at £40 million and reportedly ready to sell him before the transfer glass breaks next year.
The important issue that the Red Devils have found this summer is finding a team that will match the England international's salary, with Capology numbers claiming he is taking home £250, 000 per year.
With Raheem Sterling seemingly on his way out of the club after being dropped from the first-team squad last weekend and then stripped of his squad number, Sancho would appear to tick the box as a replacement. Chelsea have once again shown no lack of financial muscle this summer.
In DataVictory's opinion, it's hard to justify Chelsea needing to buy another £40million player, even if it is on the back of Sterling's probable exit. The Blues need to reduce the size of their squad and while Sancho's performances at Dortmund last season on the way to the Champions League final were a timely reminder of his talent, surely Chelsea have enough players to compensate for Sterling's exit.
From the Manchester United angle, the club will welcome sales as they look to recoup funds following this summer's spending spree, but will have to weigh up the fact that they would be selling to a rival. Sancho is valued at €30million by Transfermarkt, with two years, plus an option for another, left on his contract.
