Despite returning to the Manchester United setup in early July, Jadon Sancho might not be spending the 2024/2025 campaign with the club.
That’s because he’s aware of interest from Paris Saint-Germain, who are continuing their hunt for prolific attackers to fill the Kylian Mbappe-sized hole in Luis Enrique’s frontline – and it’ll certainly take more than one.
As such, Sancho has emerged as an option for the Ligue 1 giants, perhaps due to the stellar display he executed against them in both legs of the Champions League semi-finals last season; while on loan with Borussia Dortmund, he reached the final of the competition before falling to a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid.
The winger’s performances in the semis were undoubtedly the most noteworthy of his in the seasons since his permanent Dortmund exit, and they clearly caught the eye of club chiefs at the Parc des Princes.

The latest on PSG’s Sancho pursuit
Per French journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Sancho has decided that he wants to play for PSG. After they made their approach, United set a new asking price of €60 million (£51.4m).
A follow-up report from FootMercato adds that while reaching an agreement for the 24-year-old’s transfer won’t be easy, ‘it is possible’ that the two sides can strike up a deal before deadline day.
Looks like the price United have now set, matches that of Ugarte. How convenient.
