Manchester United are on the cusp of sanctioning their first major outgoing of the summer in the form of Jadon Sancho’s move to Juventus.
The winger has been in talks over a move for several weeks now after having few concrete offers to mull over in the aftermath of his Chelsea exit; they opted against activating his £25 million buy clause and even went as far as paying a £5m penalty to bypass the agreement.
Since then, Sancho has garnered interest from Napoli, Fenerbahce and Juventus, though only the latter has made a formal approach to begin negotiations.
Jadon Sancho sets sights on Juventus move
Keen to ply his trade in an all-new environment, Sancho green-lit the prospective Turin switch several days ago, leaving the ball in both clubs’ court to hash out the financial aspects.
United are keen to offload the 25-year-old permanently and finally put an end to his lacklustre Red Devils tenure before his contract expires next year. They have been demanding the same £25m fee that was included in his loan terms, but it’s Sancho’s wage demands that have deterred his suitors.
That being said, he has seemingly conceded that he can’t have it all his own way, as reports claimed over the weekend that Sancho would take a pay cut if it meant joining the Serie A giants.
Sancho on cusp of Old Trafford exit
Journalist Marco Giordano revealed on X/Twitter last night that the player’s transfer to Juventus has ‘never been so close’, with ‘everything settled’ between his agent and United.
Assuming all is finalised this week, Sancho will leave United with 12 goals and six assists to his name in 83 appearances.
If it includes a swap Luiz is the one as he has Premier league experience
Luiz has gone to Italy and failed to convince, Utd should target players with both form and class. Just get the £25 mil ,balance your books and go for Ederson from Atalanta ,he’s perfoming way better than Luiz and is a class Operator as well
Ya
Cash in,get Ederson from Atalanta
Good luck ta sancho ,,, hope its goes well for im ,,,, i agree with trevor fallon ,,, just hope luiz is part of the deal ,, i went to the villa a few seasons ago ,, and thinking back he was brilliant ,, totally dominated the inside right position ,, he just class .
I can’t believe that Jadon is leaving. But all in all, I wish him the best.
Do the united boards or scout read our opinion?
United are a joke from top to bottom.Sunday pub teams are better run.
I feel sorry for the mugs that go to watch them .14 th place at best this coming season and the clown of a manager hopefully gone before Christmas.
Look at there new ground it looks like a circus 🎪.Well they have the clown’s to go in it.
I was a season ticket holder for over 30 years.
I fully agree I’m a man u supporter for many many years and it is the first time that we struggle to sign players.
