Reimbursement of 5 million yuan for returns! Sancho will return to Manchester United: a weekly salary of 350,000 yuan, Chelsea cannot afford it

In the 2024-25 European Association League final, Chelsea reversed Betis 4-1 and achieved a super Grand Slam in the European Championship. In the final, Sancho scored 1 goal. Will Sancho stay at Chelsea, 25? On June 3, in-depth media The Athletic confirmed that Chelsea will not buy out Sancho, who will return to Manchester United.

Last summer, Manchester United loaned Sancho to Chelsea. In the Blues, Sancho, who plays as the left winger, made 42 appearances, contributing 5 goals and 10 assists, of which in the European Union, Sancho played 2 goals and 5 assists in 8 games. Judging from the performance, Sancho is pretty good and has been recognized by fans.

The contract for Chelsea to loan Sancho is included in the buyout clause: Chelsea needs to pay £25 million to force a buyout Sancho. If Chelsea is unwilling to buy out, they will have to compensate Manchester United for £5 million in liquidated damages. Chelsea, which ranks fourth in the Premier League, won a place in the Champions League next season. Sancho should have some achievements in staying in the team, and coach Maresca also gave Sancho a high evaluation. The buyout fee of £25 million is not too outrageous. However, Chelsea would rather pay £5 million in compensation to buy out Sancho.

Authoritative transfer reporter Romano pointed out the reason: Sancho's salary is too high.

In the summer of 2021, Sancho joined Manchester United from Dortmund, with a weekly salary of up to 350,000 pounds, which is in the first level of Manchester United's salary structure. In the 2024-25 season, Sancho joined Chelsea on loan. Manchester United bears 250,000 yuan in a weekly salary of 350,000 yuan and Chelsea bears 100,000 yuan.

If Chelsea buys out Sancho, it will have to match a weekly salary of 350,000 pounds. At Chelsea, what is this concept? Captain Reese James ranked first with a weekly salary of 250,000 yuan, Enzo’s weekly salary is 180,000 yuan, Kesedo’s weekly salary is 150,000 yuan, and Palmer, who is very popular, is 130,000 yuan. Sancho's weekly salary of 350,000 will inevitably break Chelsea's salary structure. Young main players like Enzo and Palmer have to "add more money". On June 30, Sancho's loan contract with Chelsea officially expires and will return to Manchester United. Romano revealed that Manchester United has to continue to find a new owner for Sancho. This summer, Manchester United needs to raise funds by selling players and buy players for reconstruction. Sancho's contract with Manchester United expires in the summer of 2026, with the player's German transfer valuation being 24 million pounds (28 million euros). Any team that wants to introduce Sancho is facing big trouble - a weekly salary of £350,000 is affordable by few teams.
