According to reports, Juventus has made the first offer for Manchester United’s exiled winger Jadon Sancho in preparation for a summer transfer.
According to Tuttosport, who has suggested that Manchester United will only make a permanent sale of the winger and will not accept another loan deal for the 24-year-old, Juventus has shown interest in Sancho throughout the summer and has chosen to take a patient approach in the bid to sign the Englishman this summer. Under Thiago Motta, the Bianconeri hope to assemble a team deserving of another Serie A championship, and they think Sancho is the best move going forward.
Conversely, the Italian newspaper La Stampa has reported that the Red Devils are gradually coming to terms with the possibility of having to take Sancho on another loan this summer when teams refuse to meet their asking price. However, because of the player’s valuation on both ends, they want to include a mandatory buy clause for the Englishman, which will complicate the agreement between the two parties.
According to a third Italian rumor, this one from Tutto Juve, the Premier League team has given Sancho until mid-July to make a decision about his future. They appear to want to make a decision as soon as possible. The Bianconeri think that if there is a delay, the Red Devils might become more receptive to a loan agreement without having to make a purchase.
United’s mid-July deadline makes sense, and they will attempt to follow the example set by other clubs, who start their preseason in the middle of July after the conclusion of the Euros and Copa America.
