Man United are “likely” to part ways with Jadon Sancho this week amid interest in the winger from both Juventus and Chelsea.
The Englishman returned to the Manchester club this summer after spending the second half of last season on loan with Borussia Dortmund and, despite making amends with Erik ten Hag, the 24-year-old remains a player that the club the Premier League is willing to sell. during the current transfer period.
Sancho is “likely” to leave Man United permanently or on loan this week, reports The Athletic’s David Ornsteinwith the Red Devils said to be in talks with Juventus and Chelsea over a deal for the full-back.
The two European giants have been linked with the player in recent weeks with Juve’s interest dating back to the January market, while the London outfit’s pursuit is more recent.
Ornstein reports that for Chelsea to go ahead with the signing of Sancho, they would likely require a player to go the other way, and Raheem Sterling is currently considered the most feasible of the candidates discussed.
However, the 29-year-old earns more than £300,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge and Man United will have to decide if this is a move that makes sense for them, given his wages, age and recent form of the player
The swap deal between Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling makes no sense for the two Premier League clubs
Juventus would be the best option for Man United and Sancho, as a swap deal with Chelsea that includes Sterling does not make sense for the two Premier League clubs.
The London outfit have enough wingers at Stamford Bridge and they should focus their efforts on landing number nine this week. As for Man United, why do Ten Hag need a 29-year-old, who is out of form and on a high salary? It’s simply a deal that doesn’t make sense, no matter how you look at it.
Man United are also likely to prefer to sell Sancho to a foreign club and if Juventus really want to sign the 24-year-old before the transfer window closes, the Serie A giants should have no problem landing him.
