Chelsea are eyeing a dramatic move for Manchester United’s star Jadon Sancho before the summer transfer window ends.
Sancho has reconciled with Erik ten Hag after their well-publicized dispute last season, which led to the winger being excluded from the first team and sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund.
Despite participating in pre-season matches, Sancho could still be sold before the end of the month.
Paris Saint-Germain have expressed interest in the 24-year-old, but recent reports from Germany suggest that Chelsea are now poised to make a bid.
According to fussball.news, the Blues are ready to offer a transfer fee along with two of their academy players.

Another potential deal would involve Chelsea taking Sancho on loan, covering his entire salary, which is believed to be around £300,000 per week. This agreement would also include a commitment to purchase him at the end of the season.
In the past, United have been linked with a move for Trevoh Chalobah, who has now been sidelined from the first team at Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, Sancho was reportedly keen on joining PSG if a formal offer materializes this month.
The former Dortmund star was active during United’s pre-season and appeared as a substitute in last Saturday’s Community Shield match against Manchester City, where he missed a penalty in the decisive shootout.
Although United are open to offers for Sancho as they seek additional funds for new signings, ten Hag has indicated that their relationship has improved.
“We had a good conversation,” ten Hag said over the summer. “Everyone can make a mistake. If the player learns from it, you move forward.
“This club needs quality players, and there’s no doubt that Jadon Sancho is a very good player. I hope we can continue to work well together, and that he will contribute to our success.”
