After the chatter, Juventus have taken the first formal steps to onboard Jadon Sancho, but their opening proposal is unlikely to persuade Manchester United right away. The Bianconeri have asked for him on a simple loan. They offered to pay €7/8M including add-ons, with the Red Devils heavily contributing to paying his salary, Gianluca Di Marzio informs.
The two sides will talk again on Thursday to see if it’s possible to come to an understanding. Chelsea are also after the Englishman. Given their abundance of players, they’d like to bring him in through a swap, preferably with Raheem Sterling, Fabrizio Romano informs (via SOSFanta).
According to Alfredo Pedullà, Juventus need to augment their bid to snap up Sancho. The winger has a €20M gross salary, which is the main obstacle. In addition, the Old Lady has no plans to include an option or an obligation to buy. Their execs aim to use the same formula as for Francisco Conceiçao and evaluate whether to acquire him permanently next summer.
The Bianconeri don’t have much more room to maneuver for now. They’d increase their proposal if they found a solution for Arthur, Filip Kostic, and Tiago Djaló, but that’s easier said than done. The outcast is willing to wait for them before greenlighting other destinations.
Our Take on Juventus and Sancho
Even without certainties for the future, it’d be highway robbery if they got him at those terms. They probably won’t. After the massive Teun Koopmeiners deal, the rubber has met the road financially speaking. Still, they are in good shape with their current offensive weapons.
