Juventus are interested in signing English winger Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, and Softfootball can confirm that the Italian giants are even willing to swap Douglas Luiz to get the deal over the line.
Douglas Luiz, whom Juventus signed from Aston Villa, is a player that is attractive to head coach Ruben Amorim, but so far, as at the time of reporting, nothing concrete has materialised from Manchester United, as the only news of the proposal is coming from the Italian side.
There is also no mention of whether a fee will be involved or if it will be a straight swap deal.
Douglas Luiz failed to make an impression in Turin, registering only three starts and 19 appearances all season for the team—a twist that was definitely unexpected for the Brazilian. However, he is represented by the same agent as Joshua Zirkzee, which may make the negotiation a bit smoother.
Juventus are ready to test United’s resolve for their want-away winger, as Softfootball earlier reported that the Italian side were even willing to swap not just Douglas Luiz but either Dusan Vlahovic or Timothy Weah, depending on the player that picks United’s interest.
Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea, but the Blues refused to make the deal permanent. Juventus are not the only side interested in taking in Sancho, as Softfootball also reported that Jose Mourinho is keen to bring the English sensation to Turkey with Fenerbahçe.
However, Sancho’s huge wage demand is proving to be a massive stumbling block for anyone willing to sign him, with Softfootball indicating that Napoli also showed interest at one point.
Douglas Luiz hasn’t proven to be exceptional, but he can provide decent cover for the likes of Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, and his Premier League experience with Aston Villa might be another attractive feature that could pique the interest of United manager Ruben Amorim to consider a deal.
