BREAKING NEWS: Finally, Jadon Sancho Officially Signs Three-Year Contract with Nottingham Forest
In a major coup that has sent shockwaves through English football, Nottingham Forest have officially confirmed the signing of Jadon Sancho on a three-year contract, bringing the former Manchester United winger to the City Ground in what could be one of the most high-profile transfers in the club’s recent history.
After weeks of speculation and negotiations, the announcement came early this morning through a club statement and a slick video reveal on Forest’s social media platforms. Sancho, 25, was seen holding the iconic red Forest shirt, smiling as he posed at the stadium. The caption read: “A new chapter begins. Welcome to Nottingham, Jadon Sancho.”
This signing is a significant move not only for Nottingham Forest, but also for Sancho himself, who has endured a turbulent spell at Manchester United. Once considered one of the brightest young stars in world football during his time at Borussia Dortmund, Sancho’s time at Old Trafford was marred by inconsistency, injuries, and a public falling-out with manager Erik ten Hag. After being frozen out of the squad and loaned back to Dortmund in early 2024, many questioned where his career would go next.
Now, Sancho appears ready for a fresh start—and Nottingham Forest have rolled out the red carpet. Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo played a key role in convincing Sancho to join the project, promising him regular football, a leadership role, and the opportunity to rebuild his reputation in the Premier League.
“Jadon is a player of tremendous quality,” said Nuno during the press conference. “He’s still young, hungry, and eager to show the world what he’s capable of. We believe Forest is the perfect environment for that.”
Sancho’s arrival is part of a broader ambition from Nottingham Forest to solidify themselves as a consistent top-flight presence, with the club making several strategic signings this summer to strengthen their attacking options. Sources close to the deal suggest the contract is worth approximately £150,000 per week, with performance-based bonuses and a potential extension clause if both parties agree by 2027.
Sancho also issued a statement following the signing:
“I’m excited for this next chapter. Forest is a historic club with passionate fans and a clear vision. I’ve had ups and downs, but I’m coming here to work hard, play with freedom, and help take this team forward.”
The reaction from Forest fans has been overwhelming. Within minutes of the announcement, the club’s online store crashed temporarily due to the volume of visitors attempting to buy Sancho’s new No. 7 shirt. Supporters have hailed the move as a statement of intent—proof that the club is no longer satisfied with mid-table survival, but ready to chase European ambitions.
For Jadon Sancho, this move is about redemption, growth, and reigniting a once-promising career. And for Nottingham Forest, it’s a clear sign that they’re aiming higher than ever before.
With preseason already underway, all eyes will be on the winger as he takes to the pitch in red—not to prove doubters wrong, but to remind the football world of the talent that once made him a global sensation.
