The winger faces a huge decision on his future after failing to agree a permanent transfer to Stamford Bridge.
Another summer, another transfer window where Jadon Sancho finds his future up in the air. Having been unable to negotiate a permanent contract at Chelsea after an indifferent loan spell in west London, the Manchester United outcast will once again weigh up his options in the coming months.
Despite the Blues' openness to keeping him, the winger's £300,000-per-week wages have put paid to a long-term stay at Stamford Bridge and he now finds himself in limbo with one year remaining on his lucrative deal at Old Trafford. Chelsea even paid a £5 million penalty fee to send him back, as they reneged on the £25m ($34m) obligation to buy that they agreed last year.
However, it seems Sancho did enough during his loan spell to ensure that he will have plenty of options on the table when he comes to choose his next move. It's a decision he must get right as he risks his once prodigious career drifting into obscurity.
The emergence of a get-out clause in Chelsea's loan-to-buy agreement with United back in March - in the midst of a barren spell where Sancho hadn't scored or provided an assist since early January - immediately cast doubt over the winger's future, although reports suggested the Blues were still minded to keep him.
Sancho was more impactful towards the end of the season, especially in the Conference League, and after a goal in the 4-1 win over Real Betis in the final of the competition in Wroclaw, it seemed Chelsea had been convinced to hold onto him, with the £25m obligation to buy still representing fairly good value in today's market.
