It’s no secret that Juventus are keeping close tabs on the developments surrounding Jadon Sancho’s uncertain future at Manchester United. As per Calciomercato, the deal to bring the out-of-favor Red Devils ace to the Allianz Stadium is well within the realm of possibility.
Under normal circumstances, Juventus wouldn’t stand a chance of pulling off an agreement with Man Utd. Not that the Premier League giants wouldn’t sell, but the Italians wouldn’t have anything to offer. The record-time Serie A champions’ best and only hope of landing the ex-Borussia Dortmund winger is a short-term loan with an option to buy.
On top of that, Man Utd would have to agree to pay a large portion of Sancho’s lucrative salary. While none of that makes sense, the Englishman’s future at Old Trafford is as good as dead. Erik ten Hag has already cast him out, with the club backing their manager in his attempt to offload the unsettled star.
A move to Saudi Arabia is always on the cards. However, Sancho may prefer to stay in Europe. At 23, he still has a lot to offer. And Juventus could give him a chance to get his faltering career back on track, provided they can persuade Man Utd to accept their terms. Since Man Utd plan to add to their squad this winter, removing Sancho is among their priorities.
Even though a loan deal isn’t the ideal outcome for the ex-European champions, they may have no choice but to sanction it should it come down to this. If anyone can take advantage of such situations, it’s Juventus.
