TOP STORY: Juve eye moves for unsettled United duo
Juventus have already expressed their interest in taking Manchester United‘s out-of-favour winger Jadon Sancho to Turin, but now they’re looking to make it a double and seal a deal for Donny van de Beek in January, too.
That’s according to Corriere Dello Sport, which reports that the Bianconeri are keen to take Van de Beek on loan with a further option to buy.
The Dutch midfielder is very much out of favour at United under manager Erik Ten Hag and has played just 21 minutes across two appearances so far this season.
Juve are looking to fill the void left by Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli (both missing due to doping and betting bans, respectively) and so would be interested in a double swoop, though Sancho’s situation has become slightly murkier, with United’s incoming co-owner Jim Ratcliffe keen to see if the club can get the best out of the former Borussia Dortmund winger before conceding defeat and allowing him to leave.
If United do decide to part ways with 23-year-old Sancho, they will reportedly be looking for around £30 million — less than half the £73m transfer fee the previously dominant Premier League side paid Dortmund back in July 2021.
