Juventus Demand Jadon Sancho Clarity Amid Ongoing Manchester United Negotiations
Juventus expects to find out within 48 hours whether their pursuit of Jadon Sancho is feasible.
Initial discussions between Juventus and Manchester United have gone smoothly, and two options are on the table. The simpler approach involves making a direct cash bid, while a player swap deal is also being explored as an alternative.
Sancho is reportedly interested in a move and is seeking a fresh start in Serie A. Although all parties appear open to the idea in principle, there are significant obstacles to overcome, primarily related to wages.
Sancho’s current salary at Manchester United surpasses what Juventus can realistically afford to offer.
Sources in Italy suggest their ceiling is around £160,000 per week, and while there have been quiet suggestions that Sancho might accept a pay cut, that remains unconfirmed. Unless that piece moves, it is difficult to see the rest falling into place.
United would prefer a cash deal and set an initial asking price of £25 million.
However, there is a feeling they could accept between £15million and £20 million to help facilitate a clean break.
It would be a significant financial loss on a player they signed for £73 million – but there is no way back for Sancho.
A swap deal is also a possibility. One player being considered is Douglas Luiz, who is highly regarded by Manchester United as they look to bolster their midfield.
Luiz is viewed as an experienced Premier League player capable of providing immediate impact.
With financial constraints in mind, there is interest in arrangements that could reduce cash requirements by including proven quality in the deal.
Juventus wants to move this week, if it is to happen, which means they need quick clarity on whether Sancho is a realistic addition or not.
Sancho will not be joining Manchester United’s first group of returning players for pre-season training this week.
The club has no plans to reintegrate him at this stage and is instead aiming to resolve his future as quickly as possible.
