Jadon Sancho is intensifying his push to leave Manchester United, with Juventus emerging as his preferred destination. The winger has made his intentions clear, signaling that he is willing to wait for the Italian giants, despite a current deadlock in negotiations over the transfer fee.
Sancho has just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford, but United are demanding €25 million to part ways with him. Juventus, while very interested, view that price tag as excessive for a player who is approaching free agency. As a result, talks have reached a standstill, with neither club budging.
From the player’s perspective, a move to Turin would offer a much-needed fresh start. His time at United has been marred by inconsistency, injury, and most recently, a falling-out with the coaching staff. Sancho sees Juventus as the ideal environment to reignite his career and re-establish himself on the European stage.
Juventus, on their end, are playing the long game. Confident that they hold the advantage, they are in no rush to overpay. They believe that United’s position will weaken as time passes, especially with no rival clubs stepping forward with competing bids. If a deal can’t be struck this summer, the Italian club is prepared to wait and sign Sancho for free next year.
Internally, Manchester United are aware of the difficult situation they’re in. Retaining a player who has fallen out of favor with the manager could create further unrest within the squad. Sancho’s continued presence could also become a distraction during what is expected to be a pivotal season for the club under new leadership.
Despite standing firm on their asking price for now, United may eventually be forced to reconsider. The lack of other interested buyers and Sancho’s determination to leave are both working against them. Dropping their valuation could be the only viable option if they hope to recoup any fee this summer.
For Sancho, the stakes are high but so is the belief that a move to Juventus is the right step forward. As things stand, he appears to be in the stronger negotiating position. With time on his side and a clear goal in mind, the pressure is mounting on Manchester United to make a decision.
