In a sensational transfer twist, Chelsea are reportedly considering offering Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund in a player-swap deal to bring Jamie Bynoe-Gittens back to Stamford Bridge next summer.
Sancho, currently on loan at Chelsea from Manchester United, has impressed under Enzo Maresca and could be used as leverage in the Blues’ ambitious bid to land one of Europe’s most promising young wingers. Gittens, who began his youth career at Chelsea, has seen limited opportunities under Dortmund’s current system and is believed to be open to a Premier League return.
Chelsea view the 20-year-old Englishman as a long-term attacking asset with electrifying pace and creativity—attributes they believe could rejuvenate their frontline. Dortmund, on the other hand, would welcome Sancho back with open arms, as the club where he became a star before his move to United in 2021.
With Dortmund valuing Gittens around €50 million, and Chelsea reluctant to spend big again this summer, a swap involving Sancho—who already has Bundesliga pedigree—could suit both parties.
Talks are expected to accelerate once the season ends, especially if Chelsea meet the clause to sign Sancho permanently. Stay tuned as this potential blockbuster deal gathers momentum.
