Jadon Sancho is reportedly set to join Palmeiras following his release by Manchester United, with the 26-year-old said to have agreed a two-year deal including an option for a further season.

Partidor breaks the story

The report comes from journalist Alfonso Partidor, who says the agreement is closed and that Sancho has already decided on his next destination, per The Peoples Person. It’s worth stressing this is a reported agreement rather than an official announcement from either party, so Palmeiras confirmation and registration are still to come.

Sancho’s free-agent situation and the clubs previously linked with him

United signed Sancho from Borussia Dortmund in a blockbuster £73 million deal, but five years on the club released him with the move having proved a disaster for both parties. He spent the last two and a half years of his contract away from Old Trafford, farmed out on loan to Dortmund, Chelsea and Aston Villa without ever establishing himself well enough to earn a new deal.

With no top club willing to take a chance on him this summer despite his free-agent availability, Sancho was reduced to training with 10th-tier Flixton FC just to stay fit. Premier League clubs monitoring his situation never turned that interest into a concrete offer.

A reunion with Pereira awaits

If the move goes through as reported, Sancho would link up with former United midfielder Andreas Pereira, who joined Palmeiras from Fulham last year. It’s an unexpected next chapter for a player once earmarked as United’s long-term wide-attack solution, and one that still needs formal confirmation and Brazilian registration before it becomes official.
