Chelsea have asked Jadon Sancho to agree to a new contract before completing a £25million transfer, according to reports.
The England international, 25, spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Stamford Bridge from Old Trafford.
Chelsea have a £25m obligation to buy Sancho in the summer transfer window.
However, they do have a £5m penalty clause to break out of the deal and escape the obligation.
Now Sky Sports News are reporting that the Blues are in negotiations with the winger’s representatives over his future.
Chelsea most likely want Sancho to stay in West London. However, Sky claim they will only sign him if he agrees to fit into the wage structure at the club.
Sancho earns a whopping £350,000 per week at United, where he has one year left on his current deal.
But part of the Todd Boehly regime is signing players on relatively low wages. Star-man Cole Palmer is on £130,000 per week.

Manchester City have warned Prem rivals they plan to build their greatest trophy-winning team.
After a first season without a major domestic trophy since 2016-17, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak vowed “incredible” striker Erling Haaland will spearhead a decade of glory.
In his address to supporters, the City chief also:
Revealed the club messed up by not being “aggressive” enough in last summer’s transfer market
Conceded it led to the most “challenging” campaign since their big-money 2008 takeover at City
Promised a mega spending spree from next week to boost their Club World Cup bid
Insisted his bond of “trust” with boss Pep Guardiola means this season is a one-off blip.
Guardiola lifted 15 trophies before this season’s duck. But Khaldoon declared: “We will be back and the aim is to build something even better. Erling is the most prolific striker in the world."
He admitted: "Last summer, we probably should have been more aggressive in some changes we needed to do.
“We didn’t do that and it ended up costing us. We already started that team rebuild in January.”
And that will NOT be the end of their spending as Khaldoon said: “We’ve identified who are the targets, in what positions, and have clear No 1 and No 2 options.
“We’ll go about our business and it will be very clear, very swift. “Our objective is to be ready with the new squad for the Club World Cup.”

“I’ve really enjoyed my first season. On and off the pitch, it’s an amazing dressing room to be a part of and I’m excited for the upcoming years.”
