Chelsea They have signed players like João Félix and Pedro Neto in recent weeks, but they do not stop their incessant activity in the transfer window.
According to the Daily MailThe Blues are 'exploring' a raid for Manchester United Striker Jadon Sancho faces competition from Serie A giants Juventus.
According to reports, negotiations between United and Juve for Sancho are “more advanced” than with Chelsea, who need to sell at least six players before making any new signings. However, the Daily Mail adds that the possibility of a swap deal keeps the door open to a deal between the two British giants.
The boss of Manchester United Erik the Hag He put a falling out with Sancho earlier this summer behind him but the Englishman has yet to make an appearance for the Red Devils this season amid doubts over his future.
The Mancunians He values Sancho at £40m But it is understandable that the inclusion of some Chelsea players could significantly make the former Borussia Dortmund superstar's potential move to west London cheaper.
A swap deal would help Chelsea
Manchester United are in need of additions on the flanks and at left-back, so a swap deal involving Raheem Sterling or Ben Chilwell could tempt them to do business with Chelsea instead of Sancho.
Marcus Rashford has been in poor form of late and Sterling could take his place, while the injury problems of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia could be eased with the addition of Chilwell to the United squad.
A swap deal would also help Chelsea from a Financial Fair Play perspective as they would be offloading up to two players, including Sterling, who earns a wage of £350,000 per week.
It remains to be seen what Enzo Maresca's stance will be on Chelsea's interest in Sancho, with the manager reportedly signing Felix and Neto, as well as having the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke.
The Italian's decision could be key in determining Sancho's future, who could stay in England if given the chance to do so rather than seeking greener pastures abroad, such as at Juventus.
