Scoring a goal changes fate? Chelsea changes his mind and decides to keep Sancho, but must have a significant salary cut

In the early morning of May 30, the famous reporter Romano updated the transfer consultation and talked about the latest situation of Manchester United's loan wingers Sancho and Chelsea. According to him, Chelsea has decided to keep Sancho, but there are still many details to explore on both sides. Among them, salary is the primary issue.

In the just-concluded European League final, Chelsea reversed Betis 4-1 and successfully won the championship. Sancho came on as a substitute in the second half to score a goal, helping Chelsea expand the score 3-1. And this goal also allowed Sancho to grasp his destiny. Before this, Chelsea once hoped to cancel Sancho's forced buyout clause by paying £5 million liquidated damages and send him back to Manchester United. The key is that Manchester United, who has not qualified for the Champions League next season, is also plagued by financial issues, and Sancho is not in their plan. Once Chelsea does not choose to buy out, he will be displaced again.

Fortunately, the goal in the European League final not only allowed Sancho to win a championship trophy, but also grasped his own destiny. Now, Chelsea has changed their minds and are ready to pay a £25 million buyout fee and are willing to let Sancho stay at Stanford. Of course, this is still a long way from when he wears the Blue Army's battle robe forever.

Sancho signed a contract with Manchester United in the summer of 2026, and his weekly salary is as high as £250,000. In fact, when he joined Chelsea on loan this season, Sancho took the initiative to choose to lower his salary. Chelsea also made it clear that they would not match Sancho's weekly salary at Manchester United. After all, now in the Blues, the captain Rees James, the highest-paid weekly salary, is only 250,000 pounds, and the offensive core Palmer, is only 180,000 pounds after a sharp salary increase. Sancho is currently just a main rotation player, with a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds. Looking at the entire Premier League, only a sucker like Manchester United will give it.

In other words, if Sancho wants to stay at Chelsea to play football, the first thing he needs to do is to cut his salary significantly, which is the most important prerequisite. Of course, he didn't seem to have any other choice. After all, Manchester United can't go back at all, and Leverkusen, who had previously intended to bring him back to the Bundesliga, has hired Teng Hach as the new head coach. Sancho's relationship with him deteriorated during Manchester United. Teng Hach coached the pharmaceutical factory, and his hope of joining was completely shattered. In this case, even if Chelsea gave a low salary, Sancho could only accept it. Otherwise, he would have to go to Saudi Arabia to find gold.
