Why a permanent transfer is not guaranteed

Several reports suggest that Chelsea are committed to signing Sancho permanently at the end of the season.

A transfer fee of between £20 million and £25 million is said to be due, as United made a significant loss on the £73 million deal it signed with Borussia Dortmund three years ago.

But according to James Ducker from The TelegraphThere is a way to force Sancho to return to Old Trafford.

Chelsea reportedly need to finish in the top 14 of the Premier League to automatically complete a full-time transfer for the attacker.

Reaching such a position is very likely considering that Chelsea have never finished lower than 14th since their relegation battle in 1987/88.

Ducker adds that Chelsea will have to pay United a higher transfer fee the higher the team finishes in the top division.
