Chelsea are in contract talks to sign winger Jadon Sancho on permanent basis from Manchester United.

The 25-year-old is keen to stay at Stamford Bridge but it will require him to take a pay-cut from his deal at Old Trafford.

The Blues had already agreed an obligation to buy worth between £20m-£25m, as long as Chelsea finished above 15th place, which they easily achieved when finishing fourth and qualifying for next season's Champions League.

However, there is a way out of the deal through a £5m penalty clause payable to United should a failure to agree personal terms cause the move to collapse.

United are keen to let Sancho leave after signing him for £73m from Dortmund in 2021.

Sancho scored in the 4-1 win over Real Betis on Wednesday to help Chelsea win the Conference League, ending the season with five goals and 10 assists in 42 games.
