Manchester United are in talks with Chelsea for a swap deal involving Raheem Sterling, with Jadon Sancho heading the other way.
According to a report from The Telegraph, Manchester United are looking to sign Raheem Sterling before Friday’s transfer deadline. The Red Devils have opened talks with Chelsea regarding a swap deal to sign the Premier League’s third-highest active goal-scorer. But, they will only agree to a swap involving Jadon Sancho on their terms.
Sterling was one of the first signings of the new Chelsea ownership. It was considered a statement of intent but things haven’t gone according to plan as the club has struggled to reach the levels they previously did. The English international hardly did anything wrong last season and he still has three years left on his deal. But, he is not a part of Enzo Maresca’s plans moving ahead.
The club have made it clear to the player and both parties have been looking for a way out ever since. The 29-year-old is one of the highest-paid players at Chelsea with wages worth more than £300,000 per week and it is believed, the Blues are ready to pay a part of it at his future club to ensure they get him off their books.
Ashworth in talks with Chelsea to sign Sterling
Manchester United have emerged as a potential destination. Their sporting director Dan Ashworth is working on a potential deal to bring the former Manchester City star to Old Trafford. He is in talks with Chelsea regarding a swap deal that will see United outcast Jadon Sancho move the other way.
The talks regarding a sensational swap deal took place on Tuesday and with time running out, it will be interesting to see if things do work out. It could be a win-win situation for both clubs.
While Sancho was reinstated in the first team following his return from Borussia Dortmund, Erik ten Hag has left him out of their squad for the opening games of the season which suggests he might hardly play a part if he ends up staying at the club amidst interest from clubs across Europe.
With Sterling frozen out of the Chelsea squad, United are looking to make the most of the situation. They are looking to sign a proven Premier League star in return for a player who doesn’t seem to be a part of their manager’s plans.
