“Jadon Sancho is not a 'Chelsea' player" — Enzo Maresca

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has sparked speculation about a possible reunion with Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, a player he knows “very well” from their time together at Manchester City.

With Jadon Sancho emerging as a hot transfer target for Chelsea this summer, the Blues are reportedly considering a strategic move that could see the England international head to Juventus before making a permanent switch to Stamford Bridge next summer.

When pressed about Chelsea’s interest in Sancho during a pre-match press conference ahead of the UEFA Conference League play-off second leg against Servette, Maresca played his cards close to his chest. “I said that if we have to sign a player just for signing, I don’t want. But if we can sign a player who can help us, for sure I want,” Maresca stated, emphasizing his selective approach to transfers.

Despite the speculation, Maresca remained cautious, reminding reporters that Sancho is still a Manchester United player. “I know Jadon very well from many years with City,” he acknowledged, hinting at the history and potential chemistry that could make Sancho a valuable asset for Chelsea.

However, the Chelsea head coach left room for subtlety when he said; “Jadon is not our player.”

The quote doesn’t say much aside the obvious, but different meanings can also be read from the statement.

As the transfer window heats up, Chelsea fans are left wondering if Maresca’s familiarity with Sancho could pave the way for one of the summer’s most intriguing moves. Could the former City prodigy find a new home at Stamford Bridge under the guidance of a coach who knows his strengths and potential? All eyes are now on Chelsea as they navigate this high-stakes transfer saga.
