Man United are working on rebuilding their squad under Reuben Amorim following their disappointing 15th place finish last season and have been offered an astonishing transfer this summer.
Softfootball understands that the Red Devils plan to sell Jadon Sancho has been brightened by the latest bid from Italian giants, Juventus. The Old Lady’s have proposed three players Douglas Luiz, Dusan Vlahovic and Timothy Weah in a swap deal for the former Borussia Dortmund winger.
Interestingly, the name Weah stands out because Timothy is the son of former Liberian President, George Weah. The AC Milan legend was President of the African country for six years before he left office and remains the only African to ever win the prestigious Ballon D’Or.
Timothy is obviously not as good as the father and even chose to represent the United States in international football unlike the father who played for Liberia and sometimes funded the team travels and also paid match bonuses.
Timothy Weah recently rejected a move to Premier League side, Nottingham Forest but a switch to Manchester United alongside teammates Luiz and Vlahovic could appeal to him.
Earlier, Softfootball reported that Manchester United are keen to sell Sancho to raise funds to buy players for other areas of the squad. The aim is to improve the squad and help Amorim challenge for a better finish next season in the Premier League.
Juventus have followed Sancho since January and are ready to swoop for the England international after he returned from Chelsea. The Blues refused to activate his £25million permanent deal as they returned him to Old Trafford after his loan and paid the Red Devils £5million.
Juventus are willing to offer the three players to sign Sancho but would hope the winger reduces his £250,000 weekly wages to help the deal happen this summer.
Juventus were eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup by Real Madrid yesterday.
