Transfer Talk: Juve keen to take Sancho on loan from United

The summer transfer window has closed for Europe’s top leagues, but there are still moves in the works and plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals.

TOP STORY: Sancho linked with Juve move

Juventus are keen to sign Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho on a loan that could turn into a permanent move for £60 million, according to the Sun.

The Bianconeri, who currently sit third in Serie A, are hoping that the Red Devils would be willing to pay half of Sancho’s wages while he is on loan with them.

Sancho, 23, has been removed from the playing group by United head coach Erik ten Hag after a public spat over his dedication in training, meaning the former Borussia Dortmund man has only managed 76 minutes across three substitute appearances so far this term.

Dortmund had initially been the favourites to re-sign Sancho, but the winger reportedly doesn’t want to return to Signal Iduna Park and feels that the idea of rebuilding his career in Serie A holds more appeal.

Man United are resigned to the fact that they will take a large financial hit on Sancho but feel that it could be their best — and potentially only — option at this time due to how far out of the picture he is at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils plan to trigger an extension in Victor Lindelof’s contract clause amid interest from Juventus and AC Milan, with Ten Hag impressed by the 29-year-old defender’s attitude to get back into the team.
