Manchester United are reportedly ready to accept a huge loss to offload winger Jadon Sancho, a player once adored by fans at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old has been a subject of transfer speculation all summer, and the Red Devils boss, Reuben Amorim, wants him out as he is not part of his future plans.
Softfootball has reliably learned that Juventus are ‘adamant’ that Sancho was one of the ‘world’s top five players in his position when United signed him back in 2021, that is why the Serie A side are thinking of offering him a permanent route out of Old Trafford, but it remains to be seen how much they will be prepared to pay to sign him.
United have confirmed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves. Up next, Ruben Amorim is pushing to sign Bryan Mbeumo, and the player is very keen on the move.
The focus will be on more incomings, but United want to sell quite a few of their players as well before the window shuts on the first day of September, and one of such player is Jadon Sancho.
The Englishman, hailed as ‘amazing’ by Ian Wright, was fantastic at Borussia Dortmund, and several clubs in the Premier League and abroad were linked with a move to sign him. Manchester United won the race for his signature that summer, and many fans at Old Trafford expected him to be a star.
According to GiveMeSport, Manchester United have ‘refused to rule out the possibility of lowering their demands and selling Sancho for an even more significant loss’ if they don’t find a suitor for him heading into the final weeks of the window.
However, Sancho has been really poor for the Red Devils, having directly contributed to just 18 goals in 83 games in all competitions. He wasn’t great during his loan spell at Chelsea either. It is clear now that both United and Ruben Amorim want to sell Sancho, but they are facing difficulties in convincing clubs to pay a decent amount of money for him.
It has been claimed that United are set to accept a fee ‘as low as £15 million’ to get rid of Sancho if clubs fail to meet their valuation. That would present a £58 million loss to United, who agreed a £73 million fee to sign him from Borussia Dortmund four years ago.
Juventus are Sancho’s most likely destination, as things stand. The England international is open to a move to Turin, and the Italian giants have held discussions to understand the terms of a potential deal. Softfootball reported earlier that Manchester United on alert as Juventus consider early contract termination for Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbian striker has long been linked with a Premier League move and is reportedly nearing the end of his Juventus spell, with the club now weighing up an offer to terminate his contract one year early, according to the UK Sun.
That stance may push Juve to act decisively, opening the door for interested clubs, including EPL sides Arsenal and Manchester United, who have both tracked the striker in recent windows.
