Raheem Sterling in potential swap deal for Jadon Sancho
Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho could be on his way to Chelsea in a blockbuster swap deal involving Raheem Sterling, according to recent reports.
The speculation around Sancho’s future at Old Trafford has intensified, especially after his absence from the matchday squad against Brighton.
Although manager Erik ten Hag played down the situation stating that Sancho remains part of his plans, the uncertainty lingers.
Chelsea who are reportedly interested in Sancho might offer Sterling as part of the deal to balance the valuations. Sterling who was once a key player at Stamford Bridge has now found himself sidelined under new management and his future at the club appears uncertain.
The idea of a straight swap between Sterling and Sancho has gained traction as it would allow both players to revive their careers with a fresh start.
But the wages of both players could complicate negotiations. Sterling’s representatives recently sought clarity on his status hinting that his time at Chelsea may be coming to an end.
Whether Manchester United would accept Sterling in exchange for Sancho remains to be seen but the potential swap deal adds an intriguing layer to this transfer saga.
