Jadon Sancho is poised to leave Manchester United on a permanent transfer after positive negotiations with Juventus, who are happy to buy the winger after his Chelsea loan spell
Manchester United are close to wrapping up negotiations with Juventus over the sale of Jadon Sancho. United are desperate to sell Sancho, who has been kicked out of first-team training by Ruben Amorim, and are about to get their wish.
Amorim has banned Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrrell Malacia from attending the training ground at the same time as the first team. They are currently forced to arrive after 5pm, when everyone else has already gone home, in order to keep fit.
The ‘bomb squad’ approach has proven contentious at United – but it is about to bear fruit with Sancho, with a transfer to Juventus a matter of days away. The winger had appeared set to join Chelsea at the end of the season after spending the campaign on loan with the Blues.
However, Chelsea turned down the opportunity to sign him permanently, deciding they would rather stump up a £5million fee than pay £25m for his services. Sancho then agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce over a transfer, only for that move to collapse.
Thankfully for United, Juve have stepped into the breach and Italian outlet Sportmediaset report that there is now a ‘full agreement’ with Sancho over a four-year contract worth €6m (£5.2m) per year. The Italian giants are close to agreeing terms with United too.
Juve initially offered £15m (€17m), but are now ready to meet United’s asking price of €25m (£21.6m) – a figure which includes easily achievable add-ons and severance pay for Sancho, who is halving his salary to move to Turin.
Sancho is currently paid around £300,000 per week by United, where he is under contract until June 2026. Fenerbahce had been willing to pay him €10m (£8.5m) per year, but that move to Jose Mourinho’s side fell apart.
Juve are reportedly confident they can complete the deal before Thursday after Sancho’s agent spent time in Turin this week to agree terms. The transfer will bring to an end the 25-year-old’s miserable spell at United, who paid £73m to sign him from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
The winger has just 12 goals and six assists in 83 games for United, but still has a good reputation elsewhere. He registered five goals and 10 assists in 42 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea last season, helping them win the Conference League, and was impressive at Dortmund before that.
It could be a crucial week for United, who are also close to finalising a move for Rashford to Barcelona. The Catalan giants are taking Rashford on loan for the 2025/26 season and will pay his entire £325,000-a-week wages and retain an option to sign him permanently.

All this useless Media should stop trying everything to tanish Chelsea image. Sancho refused to lower his wage for Chelsea which was the reason why they don't buy him & not this rubbish you guys are posting. I want to know his weekly wage at Juventus. is he still demand the 300k ? or has he realizes his mistake and come to terms with reality. Chelsea is not Manchester united that over paid players when they are literally doing nothing, check the Chelsea wage bill and see the difference between Chelsea and other teams even though the player are competing with each other, there wages are very low & that's what they will get for 7-8yrs of their careers except for those who left. Chelsea is wise interms of paying player.
