Fenerbahce are allegedly working on a summer deal for Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho, who may not join Chelsea on a permanent basis.

Fenerbahce are reportedly working on a summer deal for Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho.

The 25-year-old joined Chelsea on loan last summer, and he has represented the Blues on 40 occasions during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring four goals and registering 10 assists in the process.

Chelsea have an obligation to purchase the Englishman this summer, for a fee in the region of £25m, but it is understood that the London club are considering paying £5m to cancel the agreement.

While Sancho's numbers this season are impressive, the bulk of his strong displays have come in the Conference League, and he has only managed three goals and five assists in 30 Premier League matches.

Bayer Leverkusen have recently been linked with Sancho, as Man United are planning to sell him this summer, even if Chelsea decide to pay a penalty in order to cancel their arrangement with the Red Devils.

Fenerbahce 'keen on summer deal' for Sancho

According to Yeni Asir, Fenerbahce are 'actively working' on securing a deal for Sancho, with the Turkish outfit's head coach Jose Mourinho keen to bring him to the club.

The report claims that Fenerbahce are determined to bring in a wide player, and Sancho is viewed as the ideal acquisition considering that he could be available for as little as £20m this summer.

Galatasaray are also believed to be keeping a close eye on the situation, with the forward potentially leaving the Premier League behind in order to continue his career in Turkey.

The best football of Sancho's career has been played in Germany, scoring 53 goals and registering 67 assists in 158 appearances for Borussia Dortmund across two spells.

The forward has found it incredibly difficult to transfer that form to Man United, only managing 12 goals and six assists in 83 outings for the Red Devils, and his time with the club is seemingly coming to an end.

Which other Man United attackers could leave this summer?

Marcus Rashford - on loan at Aston Villa - and Antony - on loan at Real Betis - are also both expected to leave Man United this summer.

Villa have an option to buy Rashford for a fee in the region of £40m, but it is understood that a switch abroad, potentially to Barcelona, has not been ruled out at this stage of proceedings.

Real Betis are desperately attempting to keep hold of Antony, but the Seville outfit would likely have to secure Champions League football for next season to stand a chance of signing him on a permanent basis.

Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are also currently being linked with departures, as Man United are expecting to bring in three new attackers this summer, with Wolverhampton Wanderers' Matheus Cunha, Ipswich Town's Liam Delap and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo all viewed as leading targets.
