Chelsea have opted not to sign winger Jadon Sancho on a permanent basis and will instead pay a £5m penalty to send the player back to Manchester United.
The England forward moved to Stamford Bridge on loan last summer after his relationship with former United manager Erik ten Hag broke down.
United, who signed Sancho for £73m from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, are happy for the 25-year-old to leave.
Chelsea did not pay a loan fee for the player and covered just half of his reported £300,000-a-week wages.
The Blues had agreed an obligation to buy Sancho for a fee of about 25m if they finished higher than 14th in the Premier League, which they did – or pay to get out of the deal.
