Reports from England suggest that Manchester United are preparing for formal negotiations with Juventus regarding the potential transfer of Jadon Sancho. According to the Manchester Evening News (via Calciomercato), a private jet is scheduled to fly from Manchester to Turin today, indicating Juventus’ serious interest in the English winger.
Manchester United appears willing to part ways with Sancho, as they currently have two wingers ahead of him in the pecking order on both flanks. The sale of the 24-year-old would also help improve the club’s financial sustainability for the upcoming year.
Sancho has been notably absent from Manchester United’s squad for their first two Premier League matches this season, though he did travel with the team for their recent 2-1 defeat against Brighton. His only appearance for United in the past year came as a substitute in the Community Shield match against Manchester City earlier this month.
The key points of negotiation are expected to be the structure of the transfer (whether it will be a paid loan or a loan with an option to buy) and Sancho’s substantial wages. Juventus is reportedly hoping that Manchester United will agree to contribute to the player’s salary as part of any deal.
This potential move to Juventus could provide Sancho with a fresh start and the opportunity for regular playing time, which has been limited at Old Trafford. As the transfer window nears its close, both clubs will be keen to reach an agreement swiftly if a deal is to be completed.
