Roma and Lazio are reportedly interested in signing Jadon Sancho, who may return to Manchester United after an unconvincing spell at Chelsea. Here’s what we know about the potential transfer ¹ ²:

– Chelsea’s Decision: Chelsea opted not to activate the £25 million purchase clause in Sancho’s loan deal, which means he’ll return to Manchester United. The Blues will have to pay a £5 million penalty fee for not exercising the option.

– Roma and Lazio Interest: Both Italian clubs are keeping a close eye on Sancho’s situation and might make a move for him in the future. Sancho had previously been linked to Juventus, but Chelsea became his preferred destination.

– Sancho’s Performance: During his loan spell at Chelsea, Sancho scored two goals and provided seven assists in 29 appearances across all competitions. Despite flashes of brilliance, he didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Potential Transfer Details

– Transfer Fee: If Chelsea had exercised the purchase clause, Manchester United would have received £20 million guaranteed, rising to £25 million with add-ons based on performances.

– Sancho’s Future: Sancho’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, with the winger potentially pursuing another move away from Old Trafford. His return to Manchester United might be short-lived, with several clubs interested in signing him.
