Bizarre clause added in Chelsea’s deal for Jadon Sancho

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United on a season-long loan deal.

Sancho joined Chelsea on transfer deadline day, and the deal includes an obligation for Chelsea to sign the England international for between £20-25m next summer.

Sancho departed Manchester United, after falling out with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag last season.

Interestingly, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed a bizarre clause in this deal.

According to Romano, Chelsea’s obligation to buy Sancho will be triggered if they finish in the top 14 of the Premier League table.

Romano wrote: “Jadon Sancho, Chelsea and Man Utd signed all docs in time as deal is 100% done. Loan with obligation to buy guaranteed, formally if CFC will finish among first 14 position in PL table. Fee starts from £20m guaranteed up to £25m in add-ons based on performances.”
