Chelsea have no intention whatsoever of negotiating over Jesse Derry at the end of his loan spell at Sporting, Leonino has learned. The English club intend to bring the young winger back as soon as his loan to the green-and-whites comes to an end.
The player arrived at Alvalade on loan, in a deal that does not include any purchase option in favour of the SAD led by Frederico Varandas. As such, any possibility of the footballer staying would always depend on a change of stance from the London club.
At this moment, however, Chelsea are not open to negotiations for a permanent transfer. The English decision-makers want to monitor Derry’s development during his time in Portugal before deciding the next steps in the attacker’s career, but if his spell is viewed positively, they want to recall him to the Blues squad as originally planned.
Jesse Derry will, in principle, return to Chelsea when his loan period ends. There is nothing in place that would allow them to secure the player’s continued stay without the consent of the London club.
