Chelsea boss Frank Lampard did not want to sign Jadon Sancho in January.
The Blues are being linked with Sancho, along with Manchester United, in the summer transfer window.
But Duncan Castles says that Lampard was offered the chance to sign Sancho and turned it down.
“Chelsea, as we told you on the podcast, were very interested in signing the player in January,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast.
“Frank Lampard did not think that was the right way to spend the club’s money and didn’t want to be associated with his first major transfer fee being for a player in a position that he’s already well covered for, so that didn’t happen.”
Sancho is favorite to join Manchester United for a near 100 million fee, but he may also renew for Borussia Dortmund to stay for another season.
