Overview

• Chelsea opted not to trigger Jadon Sancho’s £25 million buy clause and instead paid Manchester United a £5 million penalty.
• Sancho holds one year on his contract at over £300,000 per week and sources say he has no intention of playing for United again.
• Marcus Rashford remains on a three-year deal worth around £350,000 weekly while Antony and Alejandro Garnacho are also deemed surplus to requirements.
• Amorim aims to complete all four exits before the July 22 preseason tour in the United States to clear space for new arrivals.
• Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and CEO Omar Berrada must balance the books with options like loans or costly contract settlements similar to the £9 million Alexis Sánchez payout.
