Earlier, Felixton FC, a 10th-tier English league team, confirmed that Sancho was currently training at their training ground. This raised some questions, and the club subsequently released a statement explaining why Sancho chose them.

The statement read: "Over the past few days, we've seen some posts and comments circulating about Sancho's visit to Felixton FC. To clarify, Sancho is not here for a trial, nor is he involved in any transfer negotiations."

"He is simply using our facilities for private training to maintain his fitness and prepare for the next stage of his career. We are proud that the quality of our pitch and facilities makes Felixton a comfortable training ground for a player of his caliber."

"We welcome him to train at Felixton FC anytime. During his training, Sancho conducted himself with utmost professionalism and humility, and generously took the time to interact with everyone. After the session, he happily met with young fans, posed for photos, and signed autographs."

"He left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of meeting him. He is a world-class player whose achievements in football far exceed the dreams of most players. We should respect his accomplishments and his conduct during his visit, rather than the unwarranted criticism that followed."

"We thank Sancho for choosing Felixton FC as his training base and wish him all the best in the next stage of his career. We believe his future level will certainly be far beyond our current level, and our doors will always be open to him."
