AS Roma Negotiates Transfer for Jadon Sancho
In a significant development, AS Roma is negotiating with Manchester United regarding a permanent transfer for forward Jadon Sancho, as sources have reported to ESPN. The 25-year-old English player has been given the directive by United to secure a new club prior to the upcoming transfer deadline.
Sancho’s Recent Challenges
Sancho has had a challenging period over the last 18 months, spending time on loan at both Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. Notably absent from United’s squad for their pre-season tour in the United States, he has fallen out of favor within the team dynamics and has not received a squad number for the current season.
Current Training Situation
As the Premier League opener against Arsenal approaches on Sunday, Sancho is currently training away from the first team managed by Ruben Amorim. Reports indicate that Roma has initiated discussions with Manchester United and is prepared to engage in negotiations for the talented winger at a price of approximately £20 million (around $27 million).
Interest from Other Clubs
Additionally, the Serie A club is eyeing Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey as a potential addition to their roster. Sancho, who has just a year remaining on his contract with Manchester United and has not featured in a competitive match for the Red Devils since August 2023, has also attracted interest from other clubs, including Juventus and Besiktas.
Manchester United’s Transfer Strategy
United is in a position where they are looking to offload several players before the transfer window closes, with Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia also on the market and training away from the main squad since early summer.
