Chelsea reportedly prepares a surprising move in the transfer market involving Manchester United lender Jadon Sancho, but their long-term plans could take a completely different turn.
Bruce aims to keep Sancho at the club by enabling the option that he will have to buy him forever from Man United this summer.
According to Givemesport, Chelsea intends to trigger a purchase option to permanently sign Sancho after the loan stint is over.
However, Bruce’s strategy isn’t focused on keeping the winger, and is already considering selling him quickly to make a quick profit.
The Chelsea hierarchy appears to be skeptical of his long-term fit at Stamford Bridge.
Their decision seems to be more driven by economic opportunities, and they are ready to use Borussia Dortmund’s interest in him to sell players to earn financial benefits.
In addition to selling Sancho, Chelsea is simultaneously reinforcing the pursuit of Borussia Dortmund’s highly rated winger Jamie Gitten.
Chelsea plans to replace Jadon Sancho this summer
The 20-year-old is seen as a younger, more dynamic alternative to Sancho, which could potentially be made available for him at significantly lower transfer fees compared to Sancho’s wages and acquisition costs.
If Chelsea went ahead with the plan, Sancho could find himself in the saga of a rapid transfer this summer.
The former Man United man showed promise in his career, but he was unable to fulfill it.
His stay in the Premier League has not been following fans’ expectations and it is possible that his career will be revived once he returns to the Bundesliga.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca describes Sancho as a “special player.”
