Manchester United compromises! Sancho s transfer fee is less than 25 million, Juventus is willing to exchange Vlahovic

Jaden Sancho has been told by Manchester United that he can leave this summer, and the Red Devils have accepted the reality that they have "had to lower their transfer fee expectations" in order to promote the transaction. Juventus has become Sancho's most likely next home, and negotiations between the two sides are accelerating.

In 2021, Manchester United signed Sancho from Dortmund for £73 million, hoping that he will become the core of the forward line. But three seasons have passed, the England winger scored only 20 goals for the Red Devils, and performed mediocrely during his loan at Chelsea last season. The Blues finally paid a penalty of 5 million pounds to terminate the loan and did not choose to buy out permanently.

Now, Sancho has only one year left in the contract with Manchester United, and is not in Ruben Amorim's plan, and is classified as a "single training at 5 pm" departure group (joining Rashford, Anthony and others). Manchester United initially priced him £25 million, but Juventus refused to match that price. According to Football Italia, the Red Devils have admitted that they are "unable to get the ideal price", are willing to accept lower offers, and may even consider "player exchange" plans.

Sancho himself is eager to join Juventus. In order to win the main position, he is willing to reduce his weekly salary from £350,000 during the Manchester United period to £7 million per year (about £135,000 per week). This clears salary barriers for the transaction.

Juventus proposed a "player + cash" plan: willing to include Duchamp Vlahovic in the transaction - the Serbian striker has only one year left in contract with Juventus and has been paid attention to by Arsenal. Manchester United has expressed interest in him before. If Vlahovic joins, it can fill the gap in the Red Devils' forward line, while Sancho can switch to Juventus at a lower cost, which is attractive to both sides. With only 6 weeks left before the summer window is closed, Manchester United is eager to raise funds by selling Sancho and other players to pave the way for the introduction of Brian Mbemo and other goals. Sancho's stranding not only occupies salary space, but may also affect the locker room atmosphere.

For Juventus, signing Sancho is a "low-cost reinforcement" - without paying a high transfer fee, and getting a winger who has proved himself in the Bundesliga (17 goals and 16 assists in a single season during the Dortmund period). Sancho also hopes to be reborn through Serie A and strive to return to the England national team.
