So Matt Law says in that article that the club still view Jackson as an out and out striker and not as a potential option out wide like some have suggested. If that is indeed the case then Ekitike make even less sense. 

Just go all out on a top wide player with that money, ffs. 

Some of the saddest news we will receive this week is that Jackson is still viewed as our starting striker.

Wouldn't be a new day without being linked to City academy player

[Pizy 18,866]

Went from obsessed with Brighton to obsessed with City academy graduates who couldn’t make their first team.

Need to go for Morgan Rogers now a complete the set.

I’d have been over the moon with us going for Maignan a year or two ago. But from everything I’ve read he has taken a big step back recently.

Guess the biggest shock though is that we may indeed be after a new keeper which is the last thing I expected.

Milan fans from what I've saw still seem to think he's as good as when he arrived.

Although that said some of our fanbase still can't accept Chilwells decline so it maybe emotion talking.

Smart from us, very smart we need better than him

Might be the first sensible thing those pair of sporting directors have done for a couple of years. £5m is fuck all in comparison to the £25m and wages we’d be wasting.

🔵Saudi Arabia clubs want to sign Pedro Neto from Chelsea.

But Chelsea don't want to sell him!!!

Bit torn on this. Good squad player but is his numbers going to ever be good enough as an out and out first choice? If they offer more than what we paid and they make him a good offer, could happen.

 

James Trafford ffs 🤣

He can play on the wings as well also could put Cole on wings where he looked great last season and let him in middle.

He would be an amazing signing but since Law said that nothing new so I guess it was just another bullshit from that Mount addict.

We have approched AC Milan for Mike Maignan

It's three or four years too late, in my opinion. He's not the GK he used to be.

Also apparently Alex Crook said we have started talks with Hato but not seeing anything on this.

Same I really like Neto a lot, however if a stupid offer comes for him I will take it.

Otherwise he is good to keep around.

Jadon Sancho to leave Chelsea at end of loan, club to pay £5million penalty

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6390124/2025/06/03/jadon-sancho-Chelsea-transfer-clause/

Jadon Sancho is leaving Chelsea when his contract ends on June 30 after an agreement could not be reached over personal terms for the winger’s loan move to become permanent.

Sancho, 25, joined from Manchester United last summer in a temporary transfer that featured an obligation to buy worth up to £25million.

But it would still require a deal between Chelsea and the player, which has failed to materialise and opens up the door to Sancho’s departure.

If the west London club opted against the acquisition they would face a £5million penalty charge and that payment will now be incurred.

Sancho has options in England and elsewhere around Europe, which he is expected to explore before making a decision as to his next step.

Despite the situation, Sancho remains popular at Stamford Bridge having helped Chelsea to a fourth-place finish in the Premier League — securing qualification for next season’s Champions League — and scored in their UEFA Conference League final win over Real Betis.

Sancho scored five goals and provided ten assists in 42 games for Chelsea with Maresca praising his contribution to the side’s achievements.

“From now on is when we sit down with the club and decide about next year,” he told TNT Sports after the Conference League final of when a decision would be made.

“Jadon Sancho, if we finished fourth, it’s because of Jadon, if we won tonight it’s because of Jadon. It’s also because of Robert Sanchez — during the season, everyone is up and down a little bit, that’s part of the game.”

Sancho has made 83 appearances for Manchester United after joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021 in an £85m deal. He previously came through the academy system at both Watford and Manchester City before his move to Germany in 2017.

How will Sancho be remembered at Chelsea?

Analysis by Chelsea correspondent Liam Twomey

Jadon Sancho’s season at Chelsea was bookended by thrilling cameos: he introduced himself by coming off the bench to set up the winner and hear his name sung against Bournemouth in September, and signed off with the goal that made sure of UEFA Conference League triumph over Real Betis in Wroclaw.

The frustration, if there is one, is that Sancho produced so few memorable moments in between those. Brilliant strikes against Tottenham and Ipswich Town underlined his rare talent, but there were also long stretches in which it was too easy to forget he was on the pitch.

Sancho fell short of establishing himself as a no-brainer for Chelsea to sign permanently, and particularly on anything approaching his United salary. But he ends this short stint back in London with his reputation improved and with a winners’ medal in his pocket. There will be no bad feeling.
