Roma Pivoting After Running Into More Issues for Sancho | OneFootball

A vis-à-vis meeting with the agent of Jadon Sancho hasn’t produced the breakthrough Roma had hoped, and they seem ready to give up the chase and sign Tyrique George instead.

According to Alfredo Pedullà, the Giallorossi are falling victim to a power play by his representative Emeka Obasi. His strategy was to give up some money this summer and then cash in during the next, when his contract with Manchester United is set to expire. He didn’t think the Red Devils would pick up their unilateral option to renew it because they were fed up with the player. Instead, they have signaled that they could do it anyway, upsetting his apple cart.

The possible extension would allow Sancho to leave on an initial loan with an obligation to buy, but he didn’t okay his transfer to Roma, Gianluca Di Marzio informs. The Giallorossi are actively working to bring in George, who’s instead open to the move.

However, they must contend with a few Bundesliga sides. In addition, he doesn’t want to depart on loan but permanently. The capital club could make a proper investment if necessary. The two sides are working on the formula and his valuation.

Our Take on Roma, Sancho, and George

Nothing is ever definitive in the transfer market until the window is open. It’d be a weird plan by his entourage if they didn’t have a team waiting for them with the big bucks on the other side. Juventus seem to have moved on as well. His chances of winding up in Turkey or Saudi Arabia are rapidly increasing. As for the Giallorossi, the price tag will determine whether the Chelsea product is an acceptable gamble or not.
