Juventus are on the verge of securing another significant transfer as sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli nears an agreement with Manchester United for Jadon Sancho. The deal is expected to be a loan with an obligation to buy for the 23-year-old English attacker.
Calciomercato report how While Teun Koopmeiners arrived in Turin for his medical examinations, Juventus has been working behind the scenes on this additional move. With just two days left in the summer transfer window, the Bianconeri are pushing to finalize the deal.
Giuntoli is set to present an official offer to Manchester United in the coming hours. The proposal will be for a loan with an option to buy, with a request for United to cover part of Sancho’s salary. The Red Devils are reportedly asking for a significant fee to allow the player to leave on a temporary basis.
This morning, Juventus held talks with Sancho’s representatives. The player is said to be keen on accepting Juventus’ proposal and is awaiting further developments before considering other offers on the table.
In a related development, Chelsea attempted to enter the race for Sancho’s signature. The London club proposed a swap deal involving Raheem Sterling, who is not part of Enzo Maresca’s plans. However, Manchester United showed no interest in the 29-year-old winger.
