Napoli and Juventus Competing for Two EPL Targets | OneFootball

Juventus have joined Napoli among the teams tracking Jadon Sancho, who will leave Manchester United again, and both Serie A giants have inquired about Nicolas Jackson, who might be expendable for Chelsea.

According to Sky, the Bianconeri have tested the waters for the winger. He has a manageable price tag, €25M. However, his lofty salary is an issue for both sides. The Red Devils are seeking a permanent sale. He can’t technically leave on loan since he’s under contract only until 2026.

In addition to tussling for Sancho, along with Fenerbahce and at least one Saudi franchise, Napoli and Juventus have also probed Nicolas Jackson. He’s under fire at Chelsea due to a silly red card in the FIFA Club World Cup. They paid €37M to acquire him from Villarreal two years ago. He put up 13 goals and 6 goals in 2024/2025.

Per Fabrizio Romano (via SOSFanta), the Senegalese international has a €50/60M valuation that will be hard to meet for the suitors. He’s a fallback plan for the Azzurri. They want to see it through for Darwin Nunez before changing target. That also goes for the Manchester United outcast. The Partenopei are focusing primarily on Dan Ndoye and Federico Chiesa, Alfredo Pedullà informs. They have also just rekindled their Noa Lang pursuit.

Our Take on Juventus and Napoli Eyeing Sancho and Jackson

The former would be a nice reclamation project and is not too expensive at this point, but he’d have to bring down his wages to manageable figures, which is always a tall order. The latter is likely too pricey. As far as the Old Lady is concerned, he might be too similar to Randal Kolo Muani, assuming he’ll stay.
