Sancho would be Chelsea's 10th signing of the summer and add to the £160million they have already spent in the window.
He had been linked with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain before the move broke down and the Ligue 1 champions turned their attention towards Rennes man Desire Doue.
Sancho, who joined Man Utd from Dortmund for £73m in 2021, is now understood to have a price tag in the region of £35m.

Man Utd coach reveals why Jadon Sancho refused to apologise to Ten Hag before exile that sparked Dortmund transfer
That came after he was ousted from Man Utd's first-team squad in September last year when he claimed he was being made a "scapegoat".
He was responding to Ten Hag leaving him out of his squad for their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, with the coach citing Sancho's performances in training as the reason for the decision.
But Ten Hag recently attempted to rectify their relationship, saying: "We [Sancho and I] had good discussions.
"Everyone can make mistakes. If a player reflects on that well, you draw a line under it and move on."
Chelsea fan
Sancho was previously linked with a move to Chelsea 12 months ago before his fall-out with Ten Hag.
He has also gone on record as saying he was a Chelsea fan growing up and that Blues icon Frank Lampard was his favourite player.
He told : "I was a Chelsea fan growing up, I can’t lie!
