I can confirm that a giant Serie A club is really interested in Sancho and Erik Ten Hag seem to be in for this deal” – Fabrizio Romano shares a major update on Jadon Sancho he’s hearing from Manchester United as a big Serie A club shows interest after amazing Champions League run. I don’t why ETH is trying to get rid of such a good player 🥹💔 After the way he played for Dortmund, he definitely be given a chance 🥹👍 But it’s most likely that we are losing him 🥹💔
Juventus has shown interest in signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, although negotiations are not yet advanced, according to respected journalist Fabrizio Romano.Sancho, who is also being pursued by Barcelona, spent the latter part of the previous season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, where he played a key role in their journey to the Champions League final. The English forward contributed two goals and two assists in 14 Bundesliga appearances and is now contemplating his next career move.
A return to Old Trafford seems unlikely for Sancho, given the attention from several potential buyers looking to secure the 24-year-old permanently. Romano notes Juventus as particularly keen on Sancho and poised to pursue him aggressively, although formal talks have not progressed significantly thus far.
Romano highlighted Juventus’ admiration for Sancho, underlining the winger’s standout performances during Dortmund’s Champions League campaign. Sancho initially gained prominence during his tenure at Dortmund, scoring 50 goals in 137 appearances, before Manchester United secured his services in a high-profile £73 million deal in 2021. However, challenges with the hefty price tag and instability at Old Trafford resulted in two underwhelming seasons for the player, culminating in a fallout with manager Erik ten Hag.
Despite this setback, Sancho’s successful loan spell at Dortmund has revitalized interest from top European clubs, drawn to his technical prowess and potential. Formerly hailed by Sir Alex Ferguson as “extremely dangerous,” Sancho remains an attractive prospect for elite teams.
In a recent transfer update, Fabrizio Romano discussed the ongoing interest in Sancho:
“Regarding Sancho – Juventus and Barcelona are monitoring him. Currently, there’s no imminent deal for Sancho, but I can confirm that Juventus holds him in high regard. Some may recall my earlier mention of Juventus’ interest in Sancho before Dortmund entered the picture last November. Juventus’ interest remains strong, although formal negotiations between Sancho and Juventus, or Juventus and Manchester United, have yet to advance significantly.”
While negotiations for a transfer are still in early stages, Juventus aims to secure Sancho for a fee significantly less than what Manchester United paid. The Italian club seeks to strengthen their attacking options, particularly with Federico Chiesa struggling with injuries and Kenan Yildiz still developing at just 19.
With Sancho likely to depart and reports suggesting Marcus Rashford could also leave, Juventus is keen to bolster their offensive lineup further. Meanwhile, Manchester United is reportedly deep in talks to acquire Joshua Zirkzee for €40 million, enhancing their attacking options alongside Rasmus Hojlund.
Manchester United’s pursuit of attacking reinforcements extends to potential signings in wide positions. Previously linked with Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise, United’s efforts appear to have waned. The club is also rumored to be preparing a £50 million bid for Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, who notably scored a hat-trick in this year’s Europa League final.Juventus and Barcelona are closely monitoring Jadon Sancho, with Juventus showing particular interest, although negotiations have not advanced significantly.
