Mourinho refuses to introduce Sancho

According to Turkish media reports, due to opposition from coach José Mourinho, Fenerbahce has decided to give up the plan to introduce Manchester United winger Jaden Sancho this summer.

reported that the Portuguese coach has advised the club management to find other wing recruitment targets rather than focus on Sancho. The decision came after Mourinho had in-depth exchanges with his friend and colleague Ruben Amorin. Through this conversation, Mourinho has a clearer understanding of why Sancho is no longer in Manchester United's long-term team building plan.

The two have a close personal relationship, and this trust relationship allows Mourinho to examine Sancho's professional status and future development potential from an internal perspective.

As we all know, Mourinho has always been strict in selecting and managing teams. He is not optimistic about Sancho's future development prospects, and believes that the latter has problems in his professional attitude and game commitment.

According to people familiar with the matter, Mourinho expressed concern about Sancho's tendency to "lack enough professionalism" and "focus more on high-paying contracts than on the court contribution." Because of this, he is reluctant to risk bringing in a player who may not be able to devote himself to the team.

Sancho's agent team is considering another way out - Serie A. At present, Juventus has submitted a quotation worth 25 million euros to Manchester United, intending to introduce the England winger.

It is reported that the negotiations between the two parties on personal terms have made positive progress. Manchester United also said that they are willing to let people go as long as they receive a suitable offer.

Juventus sporting director Damien Comoli has personally contacted Sancho's representative and received a positive response. If all goes well, the transfer is expected to be officially finalized next week after Comoli returns to Europe.
