Juventus transfer deadline-day recap: Jadon Sancho transfer falls through; Bianconeri outcasts remain in Turin | OneFootball

Even though the Bianconeri had an extremely active transfer window following the arrivals of Teun Koopmeiners, Douglas Luiz, Kephren Thuram, Nico Gonzalez, Pierre Kalulu, and Francisco Conceicao, Juventus pushed until the very last day to seize opportunities.

Gianluca Di Marzio reported that after having submitted a one season loan offer for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho at a fee of €7m-€8m, the Bianconeri ultimately decided to pull out of the race as they felt that the transfer would be too costly considering that the Red Devils wanted Juventus to cover a portion of the former Borussia Dortmund winger’s salary.

Furthermore, coach Thiago Motta and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli feel confident about the Old Lady’s front-line the way it is at the moment and viewed Jadon Sancho as an opportunity rather than a necessity.

Moreover, the Bianconeri have failed to offload several of their outcasts as Filip Kostic ultimately decided to remain at Juventus after receiving several offers from Saudi, and Premier League outfits Crystal Palace and Southampton.

In addition, Tiago Djalo has pulled himself out of a loan deal to Roma as the Giallorossi put the deal on stand-by, which led to the Portuguese defender being irritated and making a return to Turin where he is set to be reintegrated into the squad.

Finally, it seems Arthur is set to remain as a last minute move to Napoli collapsed as the Partenopei seized primary target Billy Gilmour, as well as the interest of Fiorentina and Lazio having died down due to the high wages of the Brazilian international.
