Juventus are in the driving seat to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United this summer according to reports.
United announced their decision to stick with Erik ten Hag earlier this week, seemingly ending any hopes of Sancho reviving his United career.
The 24-year-old has publicly fallen out with Ten Hag after the Dutchman accused him of failing to meet the required standards in training, leading to the winger’s dismissal from the first team.
Juventus are interested in signing Sancho
Sancho, who had not played for United since last August, ended his spell in the wilderness by joining former club Borussia Dortmund on loan in January for the second half of the season.
The England international returned to form in Germany as he helped Dortmund surprisingly reach the Champions League final.
Sancho has scored three goals and provided three assists in 21 games under Edin Terzic, and United are reported to have made him available for £40m.
Dortmund would like to make Sancho a permanent move, but it is unlikely they will be able to meet United’s asking price, although they could try to secure another loan deal.
Football Insider reports that due to Dortmund’s financial situation Juventus are now in a good position to sign Sancho and the Italian giants could look to take him on loan, while Serie A rivals Napoli are also believed to be interested.
Sancho joined United from Dortmund three years ago for a whopping £73m and has made 82 appearances so far, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists.
United reportedly need to sell this summer to increase their initial transfer budget which is thought to be as low as £50m, and selling the likes of Casemiro and Sancho will give them more money to spend in the market on strengthening a squad that has finished bottom. in eighth place in the Premier League last season.
