The former England international has been frozen out by Erik ten Hag yet again and he is expected to leave the Old Trafford outfit before the summer transfer window closes on 30 August.

Multiple clubs across Europe have expressed an interest in Sancho and Bayern are the latest team to join the race for his signature.

The Bavarians are set to allow Kingsley Coman to depart before Deadline Day and they are eyeing Sancho as a possible replacement, according to HITC.

Borussia Dortmund have ruled out a permanent move for Sancho, but would reportedly be open to a loan deal, while Juventus remain the frontrunners for the 24-year-old.

However, Chelsea are also keen on completing a deal for Sancho, as per multiple reports.

The Blues have already signed Pedro Neto and Joao Felix so far this summer, but they remain interested in purchasing another forward, and Sancho is being considered as an option.

Jadon Sancho to Chelsea?

Chelsea are reportedly looking into the possibility of landing Sancho via a swap deal, with both Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling named as potential options to join Man Utd.

They are both currently training with Chelsea’s ‘Bomb Squad’ away from the first-team and an exit before the end of August is certainly on the cards.

However, Sterling has reportedly decided to resolve his current contract with Chelsea before discussing a transfer away from the club.

The ex-Manchester City winger has three years remaining on his deal at Stamford Bridge and he is eager to engage in further dialogue with Chelsea before pushing to leave.

Sterling joined the Blues for €56.4 million in July 2022 and he has 19 goals in 81 appearances for the west London club.
