Manchester United are getting very close to completing negotiations with Juventus on the Jadon Sancho transfer deal. The Old Trafford side have long been wanting to sell out the England winger and they are about to get their wish.
Coach Ruben Amorim is said to have banned Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia from the training ground at the same time as the first team. According to an insider report, the group of players were only allowed to return to the training centre after 5pm, as most of the coaching staff and other players had left.
This controversial strategy of Amorim is starting to bring concrete results. Sancho is very close to moving to Juventus, as the deal is expected to be completed in the next few days.
Chelsea have previously denied the England international the opportunity to sign him. The Stamford Bridge side agreed to spend £5 million to return Sancho to Man United, rather than £25 million to buy him out.
Sancho has since agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce for a potential transfer deal to Turkey. However, the deal collapsed at the last minute, leaving the 25-year-old's future uncertain.
Luck smiled on the "Red Devils" when Juventus helped them solve the Sancho problem. It is known that the English player has reached an agreement with the Turin team on a 4-year contract, worth 5.2 million pounds per season.
As for Juventus, they initially only proposed a transfer fee of 15 million pounds. However, the Serie A team is now ready to accept Man United's request of £21.6 million. Notably, Sancho will accept a reduction of half his salary to complete the transfer deal to Allianz.
Currently, Sancho is receiving a salary of around £300,000 per week at Old Trafford, in a contract that runs until June 2026. Fenerbahce under the leadership of coach Jose Mourinho have come very close to recruiting the English player. They are willing to pay him a salary of £8.5 million a year to convince him to go to Turkey.
The decision to reduce half of his income to play for Juventus shows that Sancho is prioritizing a career resumption instead of keeping a high salary at Old Trafford.
Juventus are said to be very confident that they can complete the Sancho recruitment deal before next Thursday. The Englishman's representative arrived in Turin this week to agree on the final terms, including salary and contract terms.
If there is no change at the last minute, this deal will end Sancho's dark time at Man United - where he was highly appreciated for £73 million.
However, Sancho has only scored 12 goals and had 6 assists in 83 appearances for Man United. However, he still maintains a good reputation in other teams.
Last season, when playing for Chelsea on loan, Sancho scored 5 goals and made 10 assists after 42 matches in all competitions, contributing greatly to helping The Blues win the Europa Conference League. He has also made a strong impression at Dortmund.
This week could be a big moment for Man United as they are also set to complete Rashford's move to Barcelona. The Catalan giants are expected to loan Rashford until the end of the 2025-2026 season, and pay the full salary of £325,000 per week, with a buy-in clause.
