Sky Sports confirms ‘positive’ talks for ‘amazing’ Man Utd star who is ever closer to leaving | OneFootball

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is edging ever closer to sealing a move to Juventus, according to the latest reports in Italy and England.

The Serie A giants have started the summer transfer market with a bang, as they have reportedly sealed a deal for Jonathan David who is soon expected to sign as a free agent.

Nevertheless, the Bianconeri won’t stop there, as they’re now expected to shift their focus towards bolstering other departments, beginning with Sancho who is considered the right profile to bolster the two attacking midfielders/wingers roles in Igor Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 system.

Jadon Sancho negotiating a move to Juventus

The 25-year-old spent the last campaign on loan at Chelsea, and was hailed for his ‘amazing’ displays at the start of the season by the legendary Ian Wright.

However, he endured a dip in form in the second half of the campaign, so the Blues relieved themselves of the obligation to buy the player for £25 million by paying MUFC a £5m penalty. The England international still has one year left on his Man Utd contract, but has no place in Ruben Amorim’s plans.

Luckily for the London native, Juventus would be happy to accommodate him, and Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth confirmed positive talks between all parties, who are all keen to reach a ‘done deal’ as soon as possible.

Juventus, United & Sancho closing in on agreement

As the source explains, Juve and United still have some distance to bridge before finding a full accord on the transfer fee and the formula. Nevertheless, the biggest obstacle remains the player’s hefty salary which the Old Lady isn’t willing to match. Hence, the player would have to accept a pay cut in order to seal an exit from Carrington.

Sheth adds that Sancho is considered a replacement for Francisco Conceicao who spent his campaign on loan at Juventus, but the Italians haven’t been able to find an agreement with Porto to keep the young Portuguese on a permanent basis.
