Jose Mourinho's name will forever remain synonymous with Chelsea. The Portuguese manager won three Premier League titles over his two stints at Stamford Bridge and was unlucky not to win a Champions League with the Blues. Currently, he finds himself managing Fenerbahce and appears to be interested in signing a player from his former club.
Jadon Sancho's situation at Chelsea is up in the air. They are believed to have an obligation to sign him for a transfer fee around £25 million this summer from Manchester United, as they have finished above 15th in the Premier League.
The Blues hold an exit clause set at £5 million as well. It remains to be seen what option they will take, with Sancho having a hot-and-cold season.
As reported by Yeni Asir (via GOAL), Fenerbahce are actively working on securing a deal for Sancho. The club's officials are said to have already begun preparations to bring the England international to Istanbul, with Mourinho giving the green light to pursue the player.

Sancho has shown sparks of quality during his stint at Chelsea. But then, he has failed to produce the goods on a consistent basis.
There are also those who believe that Sancho is at his best on playing with a proper focal point at striker. Unfortunately for Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson has failed to establish himself as the club's first-choice number 9 for the future.
It will be interesting to see what Chelsea decide to do regarding Sancho. The talent is quite clearly there. But having seen him struggle in the Premier League for years, one has to wonder whether the English game just is not the right fit for him. But then again, will the Blues be willing to pay Manchester United an extra £5 million just to avoid signing the winger?
