Juventus ‘expected’ to make an offer to sign Man United star | OneFootball

Juventus are expected to propose a loan deal for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho before the transfer deadline, according to The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell.

Sancho had a public fall-out with manager Erik ten Hag last year and he was subsequently suspended by the club before his loan move to Borussia Dortmund in January.

The pair managed to sort out their differences in the summer, but the England international was not part of the matchday squad against Fulham due to an ear infection.

The Bianconeri are aiming to land two wingers this month and have their sights on signing Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez and Sancho.

With the huge outlay £33.9 million required for Gonzalez and £42.3m for Teun Koopmeiners, the Turin giants can’t afford a permanent deal for Sancho.

They are ‘expected’ to propose a loan move with a salary contribution, but United would prefer a permanent sale for £40m.

However, a middle ground could be reached for a loan deal with an obligation to buy next summer.

Sancho could head for the exit door before the deadline

The 24-year-old was a top target for the Bianconeri in January. The move was vetoed by manager Massimiliano Allegri, who felt Sancho would not suit his 3-5-2 formation.

However, the Serie A giants have now revived their pursuit. Sancho’s chances of joining the club have improved with the club’s appointment of Thiago Motta as the manager.

Motta operates with a regular 4-2-3-1 system which Sancho is accustomed to. Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli also ‘likes him’, and a move appears a realistic possibility.

United want to receive cash up front, but they would not want to keep hold of an unsettled player who could disrupt the harmony around the squad.

This could drag on until deadline day before United sanction his exit.

Juventus are used to signing players on loan with conditional obligation clauses. They could propose something similar to recruit Sancho.
