Jadon Sancho 'transfer agreement struck' as Man Utd receive improved offer

Juventus have sent Manchester United an improved offer for exiled winger Jadon Sancho after striking an agreement on personal terms, according to reports. Sancho is one of five first-team outcasts training away from Ruben Amorim's squad in pre-season, and he could soon seal a permanent exit from Old Trafford.

Chelsea had a £25million obligation to buy the England international this summer after his season-long loan, but opted to pay a £5m fine to breach the clause and send him back to Manchester. Juventus have since emerged as Sancho's leading suitors ahead of Napoli and Fenerbahce, and a move to Turin looks on the cards.

According to Football Italia, Juventus have submitted a fresh bid worth £15m to sign Sancho, an increase from their initial approach worth £13m.

The Serie A giants consider United's £21m asking price unrealistic, considering he has entered the final year of his contract and is earning a huge salary.

It's claimed that Sancho has already agreed personal terms with Juventus after discussions between the club and his representatives.

He is said to have held off alternative interest in favour of a move to Juve, but it remains to be seen whether United will deem the revised offer acceptable.

United also want to sell Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia to clear space on the wage bill and boost the transfer budget.

Amorim reportedly wants a striker, midfielder and wing-back after Bryan Mbeumo, with talks ongoing with Brentford over his transfer fee.

United could also move for a goalkeeper after Andre Onana suffered a hamstring injury in pre-season training, ruling him out for at least six weeks.

Given the club's lack of European football next season, though, Amorim's transfer kitty is restricted, making player sales crucial.

Sancho has endured a miserable time of things since joining United from Borussia Dortmund in a £73m deal in 2021.

He has scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 83 appearances across the last four years, spending 18 months on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.

The Blues reportedly wanted to keep Sancho beyond the summer but refused to meet his lofty wage demands.

A move overseas should serve the big-money flop best, with Italy emerging as his likely destination.
