CHELSEA are preparing to offer Manchester United two players and a transfer fee to sign Jadon Sancho, according to sensational reports in Germany.
The 24-year-old English striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund after falling out with Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils' manager.

He returned to Old Trafford last summer and was on the bench for Man Utd's Community Shield defeat to Manchester City last weekend.
But now he has been linked with a surprise move to Chelsea as the new season gets underway.
According to Football newsThe Blues are willing to offer a transfer fee and two youth players in a deal for Sancho.
They are also open to giving him a loan with an obligation to buy.
This means that he must continue to pay his salary during the term of the loan.
Sancho would be Chelsea's tenth summer signing and a nice addition to the £160million they have already spent in the transfer window.
He was linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, but the move fell through and the Ligue 1 champions turned their attention to Rennes player Desire Doue.
Sancho, who joined Man Utd from Dortmund for £73m in 2021is now said to have a price tag of around £35 million.

Since arriving in England he has played 83 games, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists.
During his loan spell at Dortmund last season, he scored three goals and provided three assists in 21 games.
This came after he was dropped from Man Utd's first-team squad in September last year for making himself a 'scapegoat'.
He responded to the fact that Ten Hag had not included him in his selection for the 3-1 defeat against Arsenal. The coach gave Sancho's performance in training as the reason for the decision.
Sancho was previously linked with a move to Chelsea 12 months ago, before his fight with Ten Hag.
He has also said he was a Chelsea fan as a child and that Blues icon Frank Lampard was his favourite player.
He told talkSPORT: “I was a Chelsea fan from growing up, I can't lie!
“Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard were my favourite players at the time.
“I just love Frank Lampard and the way he played his game; he was so direct and so composed on the ball. I love things like that.”
