Juventus showed significant interest in Jadon Sancho earlier in the summer. However, that didn’t translate into a proper negotiation to onboard him. The winger has mended fences with Erik Ten Hag. He’s taking part in the summer friendlies after being frozen out before his temporary return to Borussia Dortmund.
According to Sports Zone (via Tuttomercatoweb), the Englishman isn’t necessarily staying, but the turn of events gives Manchester United more power in the negotiations for his departure. PSG have joined the race and will have the funds to lure him after a few sales. They wouldn’t have trouble with his personal terms.
The Red Devils want €60/70M for Sancho, while Juventus tested the waters for an initial loan. The Ligue 1 champions have some players who could entice the counterparty: Nordi Mukiele, Milan Skriniar, and Manuel Ugarte, The Express informs. The conversations are in their very early stages.
The Bianconeri will need two wingers if Federico Chiesa left. He had his first contact with Thiago Motta on Monday. He’ll remain part of the squad if they can’t find a solution, but the priority is to seek a buyer in the Premier League, TuttoSport informs.
Among the rumored targets, the most approachable is Francisco Conceiçao, whom Porto could let go on an initial loan.
Our Take on Juventus and Sancho
It was probably nothing more than an inquiry to assess whether Manchester United would give him away, which is not the case, plus his wages and price tag were always enormous hurdles ahead of a permanent switch in the future.
