Fabrizio Romano revealed that Juventus are facing a stumbling block in the negotiation to sign Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho. The Italian sports journalist said that the huge salary of Sancho remains a point of concern for the Italian giant.
The Red Devils are facing a lot of similar issues in selling many of their surplus players with big wages. As United calmly negotiate a deal to sign Bryan Mbeumo after acquiring Matheus Cunha, they have reached their budget limits.
Man United have to sell players before adding new players to their roster, which is a necessity under Ruben Amorim. Amorim’s tactical style of play proved too much for the current United squad to adapt, leading to this summer’s overhaul.

United have faced the same wage issue with Marcus Rashford, who remains part of the senior roster despite his availability. Sancho cost United £25m as Chelsea rejected his salary demand and opted to pay a £5m penalty instead of buying him.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano revealed that Juventus find the salary of Sancho a big obstacle in their negotiation with United. He said:
“Jadon Sancho not part of training session at Manchester United. It’s over also for him. We know there were links with Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce are not in active talks for Jaden Sancho. From what I am hearing, there is interest from Juventus, who keep calling Manchester United, but the salary of Jaden Sancho, a huge salary, is still a stumbling block for this negotiation.”
Sancho has a year left in his tenure, as he continues to prioritise finances over football ambitions at the moment. For any professional player, a chance to play in the World Cup matters a lot, yet the 25-year-old is unbothered.
The Red Devils cannot spend too much of their time on selling players, as they would need time to buy. The good thing is that Amorim needs a lean squad with more quality over quantity due to no European football next season.

The situation gives Amorim an ample amount of time to rejuvenate the club and bring it back to the top. Rest assured, selling Sancho will end a period in the club’s history where they signed many players who failed badly.
