Fenerbahce has launched talks to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Fenerbahce Open Talks to Land Sancho from United
Turkish giants Fenerbahce have officially opened talks with Man Utd for winger Jadon Sancho this summer. The transfer is part of a big rebuild with sporting director Devin Ozek at the centre.
Jose Mourinho has officially taken over as the manager of Fenerbahce. He hopes to add more top players in time for the new season and to ensure that they can challenge actions in Turkey, and in Europe.
Sancho, 25, is making news for his uncertain future at Old Trafford. That is especially after a not so good loan spell at Chelsea. There he got five goals and 10 assists from 42 appearances for the club.
The Englishman earns around €15m a year according to reports. So, clubs such as Napoli have turned down the interest due to his salary. Sancho himself appears willing to to accept a lower salary to start afresh. He wants playing time without the pressures of the Premier League.
Sancho’s Future in the air as Amorim Reshapes his Squad
Manchester Utd is preparing for a squad overhaul this summer after a disappointing campaign. Sancho is one of the players likely to move. He has a market value of €28m. The winger has got the attention of several European clubs, including Juventus and Napoli.
However, Fenerbahce has taken the lead in the race. This comes after Mourinho’s influence and the presence of ex-Utd stars Fred and Sofyan Amrabat in their squad. A permanent deal may be tough due to his wages. But, Red Devils are open to a loan deal, which keeps the door wide open for the Turkish side.
The winger has now played over 200 club matches and has earned 23 caps for England. If the move takes place, it could be beneficial transfer for both player and Turkish club.
