Jadon Sancho’s Manchester United exit has been held back by his wage demands and Manchester United’s asking price.
They have proven to be an issue for Chelsea, who are not the leading candidate for Sancho anymore.
Juventus have emerged as a possibility, as they prepare to complete the sale of Federico Chiesa. Other players can also depart the Italian giants before deadline day.
Gazzetta dello Sport have shared a positive update regarding Sancho’s exit, stating that Juve are about to make a renewed offer for the Manchester United player soon.
The Red Devils have now ‘opened up’ to moving the player out on an initial loan deal with an option to buy, which could favour the Bianconeri.
It is mentioned that Juve’s first offer to United was a dry loan deal with them continuing to pay a quarter of Sancho’s €20m a season wages. Their next offer could be a bigger package.
They will use the money from Chiesa’s sale and also from the exit of one of Filip Kostic or Arthur.
With the help of all that, their next bid could cost about €11m to €13m – including the player’s wages. There is no mention of whether they will offer an option to buy or not.
The offer should arrive in the next few hours.
Wednesday saw claims from Fabrice Hawkins that a deal had already been agreed with an obligation to buy, that now seems to have been nonsense.
