Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho, currently on loan at Chelsea, has become a transfer target for an unexpected Premier League team this summer.
The 25-year-old’s struggles to impress under Enzo Maresca at Chelsea have raised questions about his future, and a potential loophole in his loan agreement could see him return to Old Trafford.
Chelsea’s Dilemma: Keep Sancho or Pay the Penalty Fee
Chelsea’s obligation to sign Sancho permanently for around £25m may be reevaluated, with the Blues potentially opting to pay Manchester United a “penalty fee” instead.

This development has sparked interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are reportedly considering Sancho as a replacement for the in-demand Matheus Cunha.
Wolves’ Interest in Sancho: A Bargain Signing?
Wolves are said to be “serious contenders” for Sancho, who could fill the void left by Cunha’s expected departure.
The West Midlands side believe Sancho would be a “bargain” signing, especially if Manchester United accepts a reduced fee to offload the unwanted winger.
With a potential sale of Cunha and left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, Wolves would have the funds to reinvest in Sancho.
The Possibility of an Audacious Swap Deal
While Sancho’s willingness to join a team without European prospects is uncertain, Manchester United might consider a reasonable offer from Wolves.
The Red Devils have been linked to signing Cunha, who has a higher market value than Sancho.
However, Wolves’ interest in Sancho raises the possibility of a part-exchange deal, with both players heading in opposite directions.
A Potential Win-Win Situation
A swap deal could benefit both parties, with Manchester United reducing the cash sum they need to pay to sign Cunha.
The inclusion of Sancho in the deal would drive down the price, making it a more attractive proposition for both clubs.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the drama surrounding Sancho’s future continues to unfold.
