Chelsea coach Maresca reveals Sancho s future is uncertain, Blues face a permanent transfer decision of £25m

Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Chelsea has not yet made a decision on Jaden Sancho's future. Currently, Sancho is playing for Chelsea on loan from Manchester United, and the Blues are facing a key choice to activate their permanent transfer option for £25 million.

Chelsea has not yet made a final decision

As preparing for the Europa League final with Real Betis, Maresca said the club has not yet made a decision on whether to activate Sancho's £25 million (about $34 million) purchase option. Technically speaking, as Chelsea ultimately ranked above No. 15 in the league, they have triggered the option to introduce the winger, but the Blues can also cancel this option by paying Manchester United £5 million (about $7 million).

Sancho's performance review this season

Sancho played 40 games for Chelsea this season, but only won 19 starts in the Premier League. He has contributed 4 goals and 10 assists, but in 17 league games since January, he has scored just 1 goal and sent 1 assist. Now, it is not clear whether he will get a chance to play in the Europa League final, and Maresca also refuses to give a clear answer to the former Dortmund star's future.

Maresca's statement

Maresca told reporters: "We have a final tomorrow, and we will discuss the future in the next 24 or 48 hours, but no decision has been made about Jaden or any other player yet."

Chelsea's next schedule

Chelsea will compete with Betis on Wednesday, and they will go to the Club World Cup in June. During this time, the club needs to weigh Sancho’s performance this season and his position in the team’s future plans to make the decisions that are most favorable to his future. After all, the transfer fee of £25 million is not a small amount for any club, and it is necessary to carefully consider whether the investment can bring enough value to the team. Sancho himself also hopes to show a better form in the next game and strive to stay at Stamford Bridge to continue his career.
