Chelsea and Manchester United have held exploratory talks over a deal for Raheem Sterling, with the Blues also one of the clubs who are interested in signing Jadon Sancho.
United are ready to let Sancho go before the summer transfer window closes for business on Friday night and Juventus are also tracking the winger.
Sancho spent the second half of last season on loan at former club Borussia Dortmund and scored three goals in 21 appearances.
The 24-year-old has not been able to work his way back into Erik ten Hag’s plans this summer, though, and could now leave Old Trafford this week.
It remains to be seen what offer United would accept, but an intriguing element of any deal is that the club are interested in Sterling.
The winger has fallen out of favour at Chelsea and had his squad number given to new signing Pedro Neto.
Sterling is hoping to leave Chelsea before the transfer window closes, ideally to a Premier League club and on a permanent deal.
The fact that Chelsea are keen on Sancho – and United are interested in Sterling – has led to reports of an ambitious swap deal.
Sterling previously played for Liverpool and Manchester City before joining Chelsea in the summer of 2022.
