Today, a news screenshot was circulating in some Italian media: Chelsea Chairman Burley said that the reason why he paid the penalty for liquidated damages and did not buy out Sancho after loaning is because of the player's professional ethics. But there is no clear source for this news.
famous reporter Romano also denied the rumor. He wrote:
"The Italian media reported that Burleigh's quote about Sancho is totally fake. Burleigh did not post any interviews with the Italian media about Sancho, nor did he comment on the situation of the England winger."

Burle: "We originally agreed to buy him for 20 million euros, but the player missed several training sessions last season, including a game. He chatted with his girlfriend at night, slept during the day, and then went to Los Angeles to visit his girlfriend for two days. That's why we chose to pay liquidated damages (not buy out)."
