Developments about the futures of Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho are among the major storylines to follow between now and the end of the Manchester United transfer season.
Sancho is one of the players who could leave United
Sancho is one of several players who might depart United by Friday’s 11 p.m. deadline. Following a public disagreement with manager Erik ten Hag, the winger spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
After the air conversations, he has since made his way back to United. However, he has not been named in a matchday squad for the Premier League season’s first two games, which raises the possibility that a transfer is imminent.
Juventus are interested in signing the winger, and United has begun talks with the Turin club about a possible transfer. However, there has been speculation that Chelsea are interested in signing him and may offer a swap deal that includes Raheem Sterling.
United has held exploratory negotiations with Chelsea
United have discussed a swap deal with Chelsea, but are hesitant to approach the former Manchester City player, despite his interest in joining the club. The deal would require both players to reduce their wages, but if resolved, it could be an ideal scenario for all parties.
Similar circumstances affect both players and teams, with a move away from their present teams likely to be the best result. After losing favor with the Chelsea first squad under new head coach Enzo Maresca, Sterling was forced to train apart from the club.
In 2021, Sancho revealed his childhood love for Chelsea, stating that Frank Lampard was his favorite England hero. He also mentioned Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard as his favorite players, highlighting his childhood support for the club. The swap deal would see both players joining their hometown team.
