In a bid to secure Jadon Sancho this summer, Juventus has reportedly offered three of their players to Manchester United.
Juventus remain in pole position to sign the England winger; they are ready to pay United’s asking price but not Sancho’s wage demands.
Apart from a direct deal, swap deal talks have also taken place between both parties, with the Bianconeri offering the Red Devils the option of landing either Douglas Luiz, Dusan Vlahovic, or Timothy Weah.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting for Givemesport, Juventus have raised the prospect of one of three names moving to United in exchange for Sancho.
Softfootball understands that Dusan Vlahovic and Tim Weah are also available on the market this summer and are considered for sale by Juventus; Manchester United have been informed about that, but they didn’t proceed with any advanced contact at this stage, only being proposed this opportunity while talking about Sancho.
Weah can play up front, out wide, even as a wingback and defender. He scored six times last season while also registering five assists.
Such versatility is rarely seen in a player, but maybe too much versatility has hindered his ability to cement one particular position, which explains why Juve are looking to sell.
United needs a forward, and Vlahovic is a decent option, especially given so many other targets seem to be drifting out of reach. Luiz is Premier League-proven, and Ruben Amorim needs more quality in the middle of the park. Weah can fill multiple gaps if needed.
According to Sky Italy, Juventus will hold talks with Sancho’s representatives imminently to try and negotiate a deal, whilst Napoli’s interest has gone quiet after sporting director Giovanni Manna expressed his concern over Sancho’s high wages this week.

Reports from Italy claim he has already given the green light to a potential switch. Napoli manager Antonio Conte has identified the 25-year-old as a key target, although the reigning Serie A champions reportedly view United’s €25m valuation as too high.
