Manchester United might agree to loan out Jadon Sancho in January.
Manchester United will reportedly look to sanction the departure of 25-year-old English playmaker Jadon Sancho this week amid his links with Serie A club Juventus.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Jadon Sancho is the subject of interest from Juventus. The Serie A giants are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Manchester United playmaker has emerged as a target for the Bianconeri.
The Red Devils hope to receive an offer from Juventus this week, and they want to part ways with the Englishman before they embark on their pre-season tour to the United States. Sancho is on high wages at Manchester United, earning £350,000-a-week wages at the Premier League club.
Jadon Sancho and his Manchester United woes
Jadon Sancho has hit a brick wall since joining Manchester from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021. The 25-year-old arrived at Old Trafford amid hype and fanfare surrounding him. However, poor form and attitude issues meant he played his final game for Manchester United two years ago, and he has spent the last 18 months on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.
The English international showed flashes of brilliance in the 2024/25 season but could not convince Chelsea to seal a permanent deal this summer. Sancho managed only five goals and ten assists in 41 appearances across all competitions, and he has returned to Manchester United. However, his stock in the market remains high, with Juventus among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Serie A adventure on the horizon?
Juventus’s interest in Jadon Sancho is understandable. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a versatile attacker this summer amid uncertainties surrounding the Francisco Conceicao situation. So, the Manchester United flop has emerged as a viable target for the Bianconeri.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Englishman is keen on joining a club that will play in the UEFA Champions League next season. So, Juventus should have bright prospects of landing Sancho in the summer transfer window. However, Manchester United would prefer to cash in on the high-earning flop before embarking on the pre-season tour to the United States.
The English international currently earns £350,000-a-week wages at Manchester United, and the Red Devils are keen on getting his salary off their books. While recent reports have claimed that Sancho is ready to take a pay cut to join Juventus, it will be interesting to see if a move to Serie A sees the light of day this week.
