Enzo Maresca’s side were understood to be keen on keeping the 25-year-old at Stamford Bridge beyond last season but couldn’t agree on a contract.
Subsequently, Chelsea paid £5 million to get out of the £25 million obligation to buy they had in his loan deal with Man United.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the West London club were ready to offer him the £180k-£200k per week they contributed to his wages during his loan spell.
Sancho doesn’t appear to have a future at Man United, and several reports have suggested that the club have accepted a bid from Italian giants Juventus.
The winger will enter into the final year of his contract at Old Trafford in 2025-26, from which he is supposedly getting the generous pay package of £300,000-per-week.
