Football update: Jadon Sancho reaches deal for departure from Manchester United following four seasons
Juventus and Manchester United in Negotiations for Jadon Sancho Transfer
Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United is uncertain, as the club is currently in negotiations with Juventus over a potential transfer. According to reports, Sancho has an agreement with the Italian giants, but the next step is for Manchester United to agree a fee for his departure [1][2][3].
The negotiations are progressing, but the key issues are the transfer fee and Sancho's salary demands. Manchester United has lowered its asking price for Sancho to around £15m-£17m (€18m-€20m) after initially seeking about £25m. However, Juventus is reluctant to cover Sancho's full current salary, which complicates the deal [1][2][3].
Juventus has proposed swap deals involving players like Douglas Luiz, Timothy Weah, or Dušan Vlahović as part of the negotiation, but Manchester United has not advanced these talks significantly yet. The ongoing difficulties mainly relate to Juventus' unwillingness to pay Sancho's entire wages and Manchester United's desire for a quick sale [1][3].
Another complication arises from Chelsea's cancellation of their obligation to buy Sancho following his loan last season, paying a £5 million fee to Manchester United. Additionally, Borussia Dortmund has shown renewed interest in Sancho, adding another dimension to the negotiations [1][3].
Sancho, who arrived at Manchester United fresh off a brace in the DFB-Pokal final and was widely regarded as one of the best wingers in the world, has expressed his willingness to wait for Juventus but wants them to progress with negotiations [1].
Meanwhile, another English player, Scott McTominay, has become a cult hero at Napoli after moving away from England. An exit for Sancho from Manchester United seems inevitable, with several European clubs willing to take the gamble [1].
The 2028 European Championships, being held in the United Kingdom and Ireland, may be a realistic goal for Sancho. The transfer of Sancho to Manchester United in 2021 was their fifth-most expensive signing ever [1]. In the past few hours, Juventus has offered €17 million to Manchester United for Sancho [1].
As of late July 2025, while Juventus remains the main interested club, completing the transfer depends on resolving salary coverage and finalizing the transfer fee, with United open to including player swaps but negotiations still in early, complex stages [1][2][3].

Sancho's potential transfer from Manchester United to Juventus is subject to negotiations regarding the transfer fee and Sancho's salary demands, with Manchester United lowering its asking price to around €18m-€20m while Juventus is hesitant to cover Sancho's full wages. negotiations are complicated by other factors such as Chelsea's cancellation of their obligation to buy Sancho, Borussia Dortmund's renewed interest, and the inclusion of player swaps in the deal.
