Jadon Sancho potential next club

Jadon Sancho cut a reinvigorated figure upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge, but the Chelsea loanee has observed his temporary stay SW6 fizzle out into uncertainty.

The 25-year-old has registered 14 goal contributions in 40 appearances for the Blues this term, and yet his form has deteriorated in the second half of the campaign and it's been reported that Enzo Maresca does not envision Sancho in his long-term plans.

Sancho's parent club Manchester United inserted a £25million obligation to buy in the winger's loan deal but according to reports, Chelsea are considering paying a lucrative penalty to avoid completing the permanent transfer of the former England international.

Hopes of Sancho being able to resurrect his career at Old Trafford also appear minuscule and United are reportedly willing to listen to offers as they prepare for a crucial summer overhaul.

It leaves Sancho's future up in the air and we've taken a look at where the winger may be playing his football next season.

Chelsea

A permanent move to Chelsea may still be on the cards for Sancho and there was the suggestion from the i Paper after the Blues' Conference League triumph over Real Betis that the club could yet activate his £25m obligation to buy.

Maresca is eager to bolster his wide options at his disposal ahead of Chelsea's charge on the UEFA Champions League front next season and links to Real Madrid's Rodrygo have became prominent in recent weeks, which could have a consequential impact on Sancho prolonging his Stamford Bridge stay.

The Chelsea hierarchy will make a decision in the coming weeks on whether to invest the £25m into Sancho or cut their losses by paying the £5m charge to Manchester United.

Fenerbahce

After missing out on the Turkish Super Lig title to Galatasaray, Fenerbahce are rumoured to be plotting a number of marquee signings to supplement Jose Mourinho's squad and Sancho would receive the Portuguese's approval.

Several English players have ventured into Turkey in recent years, including Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is currently at Besiktas, and Dele Alli.

Sancho's reported £20m price tag is affordable for the Turkish giants and Fenerbahce wouldn't baulk at his lucrative salary demands in comparison to other interested parties.

However, it remains to be seen whether Sancho would embrace a move to Istanbul, especially for a player who considers himself worthy of competing in one of Europe's top five leagues.

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund provided the platform from which Sancho established himself as a household name in the Bundesliga prior to his switch to Manchester United and his productive loan move to the Westfalenstadion suggested the winger was at home in western Germany.

Sancho emerged as a key component in Dortmund's charge to the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League final, which included a starring role in their semi-final first leg triumph of Paris Saint-Germain.

Since then, Edin Terzic has departed and Nico Kovac has come in, although the Schwarzgelben reportedly remain keen on reuniting with Sancho on a permanent basis.

A stumbling block is Sancho's wage demands and the winger will likely require a significant pay cut if he is to enjoy a third spell with Dortmund.

Bayer Leverkusen

Dortmund are not the only club believed to be monitoring Sancho's services as Bayer Leverkusen have been linked with a move for the former Manchester City academy graduate.

Bayer are set to embark on a major rebuild in the summer following the departure of Xabi Alonso and a number of the club's Bundesliga-winning side are expected to depart, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Jonathan Tah.

Likewise to Dortmund, Leverkusen will not be willing to match Sancho's current salary.
