The future of Jadon Sancho will be decided in the next few weeks with Manchester United clear on their position; they are planning to part ways with the winger after the decision made by Chelsea not to activate the £25m buy clause.
Sancho remains out of Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim's plans this summer and is seen as an asset to generate extra funds and reinvest in the market.
Sancho Wages Proving to be Stumbling Block
Italian sides hold discussions with winger's camp over possible move

Two Italian clubs have already made contact with Sancho’s camp. Juventus have called in recent days to be informed on deal conditions, while Napoli had a meeting with his camp but both clubs are not willing to pay his entire salary as it is considered too high. This is the real issue, as sources say paying a £25m transfer fee would not be a problem for Italian sides, but the salary is seen as a stumbling block.
Manchester United are insisting on a permanent transfer in order not to have any more problems in dealing with Sancho’s exit in the near future, but all the clubs keen are showing interest in an eventual loan with part of the salary covered by the Red Devils, with his current employers willing to wait and see if they can find a better solution.

The player’s decision will also be important to clarify what’s going to happen next for his future, as Juventus and Napoli will both talk to Sancho directly to understand his desire and plans.
No proposal or approach has been made by Borussia Dortmund so far. Fenerbahce have been linked with a move but, at the moment, they only called to be informed on the situation and deal conditions. No proposal has been sent to Sancho or Manchester United yet.
For sure, the player wants to leave Old Trafford and Manchester United are working on the best solution. It could take some time as the Red Devils will try to get what they want, but Sancho’s final decision can also be a crucial factor in understanding where his future will be.
