Napoli are among the clubs showing interest in a summer move for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho, journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The Serie A winners have reportedly earmarked Sancho as another winger option alongside their long-standing target Alejandro Garnacho, but have concerns over the England international’s salary.
Napoli are said to have no plans to match Sancho’s current wages – a factor which also prevented him from making a permanent move to Chelsea earlier this month.
Man United are open to Sancho’s departure this summer, with only a year left on his contract, and are reportedly prioritising a permanent sale before considering any loan options.

Jadon Sancho in action for Chelsea
Romano, writing on X, has revealed that multiple clubs are currently in the race for Sancho, as Man United prepare to part ways with the winger on a permanent deal:
Chelsea opted not to sign Sancho permanently after his season-long loan and will instead pay a £5m penalty to return the 25-year-old to Old Trafford.
Although his loan agreement with the Blues runs until June 30, Chelsea have also opted against including Sancho in their 28-player squad for the Club World Cup in the United States.
Sancho made 42 appearances for Enzo Maresca’s side last season, scoring five goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions.
The 'world-class' 25-year-old forward would join former Premier League stars Kevin De Bruyne and Scott McTominay at Napoli, after the pair made their moves to Serie A within the last 12 months.
