Chelsea pass on Sancho so pay Man Utd 5m penalty
Briefly

Chelsea has chosen not to sign winger Jadon Sancho permanently and instead will pay a £5 million penalty to send him back to Manchester United. Sancho, who joined Chelsea on loan last summer after a fallout with Erik ten Hag, was expected to be a permanent addition based on Chelsea's performance. However, contract negotiations with Sancho fell through due to salary disagreements, as he would need to take a pay cut from his substantial earnings at United. Despite contributing to Chelsea's recent trophy win, his future remains uncertain as he is slated to leave soon.
