Serie A giants Juventus have reportedly established fresh contacts to sign 24-year-old Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho, with the Red Devils open to a loan exit.
According to a report by Italian outlet La Repubblica, Jadon Sancho is the subject of interest from Juventus. The Serie A giants have re-established contact with Manchester United regarding a move for the 24-year-old attacker. The Red Devils are open to loaning him with a purchase obligation clause. However, the Italian heavyweights want a buy option.
Jadon Sancho and his struggles at Manchester United
Jadon Sancho has seen his stock plummet since joining Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021. The Englishman was among the most coveted attackers in the world when the Premier League outfit secured his services three years ago.
However, the 24-year-old has never translated his potential into tangible performances at Manchester United. Things went from bad to worse in the early days of the 2023/24 season, with a public disagreement with Erik ten Hag restricting him to the sidelines for the first half of the campaign.
Borussia Dortmund rescued Sancho in the winter transfer window, and he enjoyed a solid second half of the 2023/24 season. However, the Bundesliga giants do not have the funds to afford a permanent move for the England international. But Sancho has several alternatives, with Juventus among his prospective suitors in the summer transfer window.
Serie A adventure beckons?
Juventus’s interest in Jadon Sancho is understandable. The Serie A giants are ready to part ways with Federico Chiesa before the summer transfer window closes. So, the Manchester United attacker has emerged as a viable target to replace the Italian international.
However, Juventus cannot afford a permanent move for the 24-year-old Englishman due to poor finances. That might not be an issue, with Manchester United open to loaning Sancho, albeit with a mandatory purchase clause. However, the Serie A giants would prefer a buy option instead of an obligation.
Manchester United and Juventus are in contact to discuss Jadon Sancho’s situation. So, it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can find common ground on the structure of a possible deal or if the impasse continues.
