Barcelona are reportedly monitoring the situations of Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial ahead of a potential double-swoop in 2024, as per Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
The two Manchester United stars will likely be allowed to leave too, given their current statuses within the squad.
Jadon Sancho looks almost set for an Old Trafford exit in January; he has refused to apologise to Erik ten Hag and put an end to the widely-covered feud, so in turn, he has been exiled from all first-team matches, training sessions and even the senior squad’s facilities.
United paid £73 million for the winger in 2021 but given the drastic plummet in his goal contributions and output since making the switch from Borussia Dortmund, they’ll have to cut their losses and accept a cut-price fee to sanction his departure.
Martial faces an uncertain future in M16
As for Martial, he has done well to remain fit so far this campaign after injuries plagued yet another season for him in 2022/2023. He started Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash vs Crystal Palace but has now fallen slightly in the pecking order to Rasmus Hojlund when it comes to Premier League and Champions League fixtures.
Given the Reds’ lack of depth in the striker department, Erik ten Hag would be reluctant to sell the Frenchman midway through the season – in the January window – but could in the summer if a replacement is sought.
His contract is set to expire next year though so if the board are adamant about recuperating a fee for Martial, they’ll have to trigger his one-year extension first.
This where this players should go jodan sancho to barcelona then anthony martial to chelsea
