AliousWolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly considering a surprise move for out-of-favour Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to *FootballTransfers*.
Despite another season spent flirting with relegation, Wolves have done just enough under current boss Vitor Pereira—who replaced Gary O’Neil earlier in the campaign—to all but secure their Premier League survival. The club’s financial struggles have been well-publicized in recent years, having been forced to sell key players like Ruben Neves and Pedro Neto in order to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Now, it seems they may be preparing to cash in on yet another asset, with forward Matheus Cunha expected to leave the club in the summer—just months after penning a new contract. That extension, however, ensures Wolves will receive a hefty transfer fee, which could pave the way for a headline-grabbing swoop for Sancho.
The England international has endured a turbulent spell since his high-profile return to the Premier League in 2021 with Manchester United, following a successful stint at Borussia Dortmund. After falling out with United manager Erik ten Hag, Sancho was loaned back to Dortmund in 2024 before moving to Chelsea on another temporary deal. That move included an obligation to buy, but things have not gone to plan at Stamford Bridge, with Sancho struggling to find form.
Recent developments suggest Chelsea may yet opt to trigger a clause allowing them to return Sancho to United—who are keen to offload the winger permanently. Despite his ongoing struggles, Chelsea News still labels him a “superstar,” though it appears increasingly likely that he’ll be on the move again this summer.
Should Wolves pull off the deal, it would mark a significant coup for the Midlands side. With possible sales of Cunha and others like Rayan Ait-Nouri expected to boost the club’s finances, Sancho could be offered a fresh start in a more stable environment at Molineux—potentially reigniting the form that once made him one of Europe’s hottest prospects.
