Just in: ‘Amazing’ star’s Agent arrives for direct talks as Man Utd close to sealing long-awaited transfer | OneFootball

Manchester United are reportedly close to sealing their first major sale of the summer, as Jadon Sancho appears set to join Juventus.

The 25-year-old spent the last 18 months on loan between Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.

The Blues had the obligation to buy the winger for £25 million, but despite the player’s ‘amazing’ displays earlier in the season, they relieved themselves of this clause by paying a £5 million penalty, thus sending him back to Carrington. However, the London native has been bluntly told that he has no place in Ruben Amorim’s plans.

Therefore, Sancho and four other Man Utd outcasts have asked to leave the club this summer.

Luckily for the Man City youth product, he found himself a keen suitor in the shape of Juventus who identified him as a key target.

The Serie A giants have been making significant progress in their attempts to land Sancho, and it now appears that the deal has reached its final stages.

According to Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu (via UtdXclusive), the player’s agent has landed in Turin ahead of crunch talks with Juventus.

The aim is to find a swift accord on personal terms, which would pave the way for an agreement between the two clubs.

It is believed that Man Utd are willing to facilitate the move by dropping their asking price from the original £25 million, and might even be willing to offer the player severance pay to recompense him for the expected salary drop.

This transfer would put an end to an unhappy stint that began in the summer 2021, when Sancho arrived at Old Trafford as one of the most exciting young players in the world, but fell spectacularly short of expectations, making him of the most disappointing signings of the current era.
