Man United Set to Get £5m if Chelsea Doesn’t Sign Sancho
Chelsea might have to hand over £5 million to Manchester United if they decide not to make Jadon Sancho’s move permanent this summer.
Sancho joined Chelsea on a season-long loan last summer, with an agreement that includes an obligation to buy him for £25 million. However, if Chelsea chooses to back out of the deal, a clause in the agreement states that they would still owe United £5 million, as reported by The Athletic.
Sancho started strong at Stamford Bridge, registering an assist in each of his first three league games. But his form has taken a sharp dip since then, managing just two goals and one assist in his last 20 league appearances.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
