Juventus have reprised pursuing Jadon Sancho, whom they have been eyeing throughout the summer despite the difficult conditions to sign him. The Bianconeri could have the ammo to lodge an offer if they cashed in on their outcasts, especially Federico Chiesa and Filip Kostic, who also play on the wings.
Per Tuttomercatoweb’s Mirko Di Natale, the Old Lady has reached out to the entourage of the player on Thursday. They haven’t talked with Manchester United yet. His salary is a major obstacle. He makes €14M net, even more than Dusan Vlahovic.
Per Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus are considering offering a loan with a €40M conditional mandatory option to buy for Sancho. The Red Devils had paid €85M to sign him from Borussia Dortmund three years ago. They are open to his permanence as he mended fences with coach Erik Ten Hag after what happened last season, but he might not have a significant role. He played seven minutes in the opener.
The Bianconeri will need a new round of talks with Fiorentina to bag Nico Gonzalez. Their director Alessandro Ferrari spoke to Sky before the Conference League playoff.
“There are eight days left in the windows. At this stage, there aren’t the conditions to complete the deal. We don’t necessarily have to sell him, and we’re very happy with him.”
Our Take on Juventus and Sancho
It’s nice to aim high, and he’d be the best possible signing, but, while not completely impossible, Cristiano Giuntoli would have to pull one out of the hat given the very rich sums at stake.
