Italian publication La Stampa reports that Juventus has nearly sealed a bargain deal for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho. The Turin giants struck gold by negotiating the price down from £25 million to just £17.3 million for the struggling English winger. United bosses desperately want to offload the player before his contract expires in June 2026. Sancho has been searching for an escape route from Old Trafford after his disappointing loan spell with Chelsea. The London club refused to trigger their purchase option following his lackluster performances.
The 25-year-old forward originally cost United a staggering £70 million when they poached him from Borussia Dortmund back in 2021. His transfer represents one of the biggest flops in recent Premier League history as his market value has plummeted to just €28 million. Sancho managed only 15 goals across 42 appearances during his temporary stint at Stamford Bridge last season. His inability to justify the massive investment has left United counting their losses. Juventus sees an opportunity to revive his career while securing a talented player at a fraction of his original cost.
