SANCHO SET FOR JUVENTUS MOVE AS HE MAKES FINAL DEMAND TO LEAVE MAN UNITED
Jadon Sancho is finally edging closer to a Manchester United exit — but there’s still one final piece of the puzzle to solve before the move becomes official.
The England winger has reportedly agreed personal terms with Italian giants Juventus, and the two clubs have settled on a £17.3 million deal for his transfer. After months of speculation and stalled negotiations, it looks like Sancho’s time at Old Trafford is nearing an end.
The 25-year-old has been on Manchester United’s transfer list all summer, with the club actively looking to move him on. While Chelsea recently declined the chance to sign him for £25 million — and even paid £5 million to cancel a deal — Juventus have stepped up at the right time.
Just weeks ago, Sancho had a verbal agreement with Napoli, but Antonio Conte’s side couldn’t meet United’s £21.3 million valuation. That left the door wide open for Juve, who swooped in and had a “positive” meeting with United this week, according to Italian outlet La Stampa.
The deal seemed all but sealed — Sancho is expected to earn over £5.2 million per season in Turin — but there’s still one issue left: his severance package with United.
The former Borussia Dortmund star is reportedly demanding £4.3 million from Man United to finalize his departure — essentially a payout to walk away from his current contract. Until that’s sorted, the deal remains on pause.
Still, all signs point to Sancho suiting up in black and white next season, as Juventus look to rebuild with fresh attacking talent. For Sancho, it could be the perfect reset after a frustrating spell in Manchester.
