Napoli have set their sights on Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho for this summer. The Italian side is looking to strengthen ahead of the UCL season.
Sancho Seeks Fresh Start After New Links Napoli
Jadon Sancho’s run at Manchester United may finally be nearing an end. Now, Serie A champions Napoli are showing serious interest. The Italian giants are under the guidance of Antonio Conte. He wants to revamp their squad for a strong Champions League run.
According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are looking to Old Trafford again for Sancho. They have been impressed by Scott McTominay’s form. Given that they are planning to sign another Red Devils’ player.
The winger cost Utd a huge £72.9m in 2021. He has switched between Dortmund and Chelsea but has never quite found his rhythm. His future looking bleak, especially under new boss Ruben Amorim. Now, the winger is desperate for a reset in his career.
Napoli’s Big Gamble and United’s Wages Roadblock
Jadon played 42 games this season, managing just five goals and ten assists. That is far from his early promise. Chelsea, who had him on loan, are even ready to pay a penalty to avoid a permanent deal. This shows just how uncertain his current status is.
The Serie A champions see a golden chance to swoop in. But, the main issue is his salary. Like the Grealish situation at City, Sancho’s wages are simply too high for most Italian clubs. The Italian side are hoping Utd will agree to cover up to 50% of the pay for a loan move. That will also include an option to buy.
While Utd may not recover their full investment, selling him could be a smart call to clear space and funds. For Napoli, landing the Englishman could be a big boost on the wings. and for Sancho, it might just be the spark he needs to get back on track.
