Man Utd and Chelsea in Talks Over One of the Most Ambitious Swap Deals Ever Before Transfer Deadline
Chelsea and Manchester United might be on the verge of completing one of the most ambitious swap deals before the summer transfer window closes.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United had disappointing seasons in 2023-24, so it’s no surprise that they’ve been active in the transfer market this summer.
While both teams have made signings to strengthen key positions, they still have players that they need to offload.
Jadon Sancho’s situation requires urgent attention as his future at the club appears uncertain.
The English winger spent the latter half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund after a fallout with United manager Erik ten Hag, but a permanent transfer has yet to materialize.
Chelsea recently grabbed attention when Raheem Sterling’s representatives demanded clarification on his future after he was left out of the matchday squad for the season opener.
Manager Enzo Maresca acknowledged that both Sterling and England teammate Ben Chilwell are likely to have limited playing time this season.
All three players are available for transfer, but their high wages pose a challenge for potential buyers.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Chelsea might suggest a swap deal to convince United to part with Sancho.
The report indicates that Chelsea would include Sterling and Chilwell in the deal to avoid paying a transfer fee for Sancho.
Chelsea’s approach is bold, especially considering Sancho’s interest from Juventus.
Although the Serie A club is interested in a loan deal, United could negotiate an obligation to buy clause to avoid sending Sancho to a Premier League rival.
United has also shown previous interest in Chilwell as they look for a left-back to help cover for Luke Shaw’s injury problems.
