Chelsea are still reportedly planning to sign Manchester United's Jadon Sancho on a permanent deal at the end of the current season despite having a £5million release clause allowing them to terminate the deal.
The 24-year-old joined Stamford Bridge on loan in August with a £25million option to buy. However, after a promising start, his form has dipped, prompting speculation about a potential move away from the London club.
However, the transfer is expected to go ahead as originally planned.
His impressive debut, in which he set up Christopher Nkunku's decisive goal away to Bournemouth in September, raised hopes that his career could continue to develop after helping Borussia Dortmund reach the Champions League final on loan last season.
However, given that he has scored just two goals in all competitions and none since December, those expectations have been revised and his future now appears less certain than it did when Chelsea were second in the Premier League on December 22.
The club were keen to sign United striker Alejandro Garnacho in January and could strengthen their position in the summer, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding the future of Mikhail Mudryk, who is awaiting the outcome of an investigation into alleged doping.
