The future Chelsea of Jadon Sancho is in balance, and Chief coach Enzo Maresca refuses to confirm if the club will activate its obligation to signs permanently from Manchester United this summer.
Sancho joined Chelsea on a loan of a season, with an agreement to make the move permanent for around £ 25 million ($ 32.3 million).
However, the sources reveal that Chelsea could pay £ 5 million to withdraw from the agreement, as concerns about Sancho’s production grow, only two goals and seven assists in 28 appearances.
Maresca: “I could do better”
Speaking before Chelsea’s clash with Tottenham on Thursday, Maresca dodged questions about the long -term future of the end, instead of focusing on concentrating on the last nine games of the season.
“All the players who are with us, I love them all. But at this time, the approach is to finish well. It’s not the time to think about the next season,” said Maresca.
Pressing more at Sancho’s performance levels, Chelsea chief admitted that the end has had a lower performance.
“Surely, in terms of numbers, I could do it better, without a doubt, but it’s not just Jadon, we have more players in the same situation,” said Maresca.
“I don’t need to give him a message because I talk to him every day. He simply has to do his best until the end, and that is what we want.”
Chelsea weighing your options
While Sancho has shown flashes of his undeniable talent, his inconsistent actions have left Chelsea hesitant about committing to a long -term agreement.
With the club also watching the restrictions of Financial Fair Play (FFP), Sancho’s discharge, instead of spending other £ 25 million, could be a financially prudent movement.
Meanwhile, Maresca has adopted a strict position to maintain high standards within the team.
He recently canceled a scheduled free day after the players of the first team who were not in international service lost a training game against the Chelsea Sub-21 team.
“Since I joined the club, high standards always demanded. It was not an official game, but I did not allow that level of relaxation,” Maresca explained.
With Chelsea welcoming key players such as Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson for the next shock of the Spurs, Sancho’s role in the team could be even more scrutiny.
As the season ends, Sancho faces a crucial test, whether he can show Maresca and Chelsea that the investment is worth it. Or if you will find you back in Manchester United, uncertain about your next movement.
