Revealed: The huge Chelsea contract offer rejected by Jadon Sancho as Man Utd outcast failed to negotiate Stamford Bridge stay

<p>According to <em>Ben Jacobs</em>, Chelsea were prepared to pay Sancho the £180k-£200k per week they contributed to his wages during his loan spell in 2024-25. However, the 25-year-old rejected the approach. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-penalty-fee-send-jadon-sancho-man-utd-breakdown-permanent-transfer-negotiations/bltc134ee2a5410adb0" target="_blank">The Blues then had to pay United £5 million to not sign the Englishman</a>, when many had expected the transfer to be completed for the pre-agreed fee of £25m ($30m).</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sancho had established himself in the pecking order for Maresca's side, beating out other options like Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk in Chelsea's crowded squad. He regularly featured from the start in his 41 appearances for the club in all competitions.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The decision to turn down Chelsea's offer has not precipitated a true 'return' to Old Trafford for the wantaway winger. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/exodus-at-old-trafford-five-manchester-united-players-red-devils-they-want-to-leave-this-summer-ruben-amorim/blt685550af192a7a55" target="_blank">He is one of five players</a> to be excused from reporting for pre-season training by Ruben Amorim. Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Sancho have all been allowed additional leave to pursue their respective departures from Old Trafford.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>This decision by Sancho would suggest he is unwilling to accept a pay cut from his supposed £300,000-per-week salary. However, reports of an imminent move to Juventus for a fee of £25m have surfaced in the past few days, with the winger believed to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jadon-sancho-prepared-take-massive-wage-cut-join-juventus-offer-not-enough-secure-move-from-man-utd/bltae54a6a311e0f588" target="_blank">open to taking a lower salary</a>. That deal could be delayed, as Sancho does expect a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-the-one-thing-holding-up-jadon-sancho-move-man-utd-join-juventus/blt0e1a1238382be443#cs792e0896b62aaa80" target="_blank">severance package of €5m</a> to be paid by United as part of the agreement. The player has one year left on his current contract.</p>
