Juventus ADVANCE in talks to sign Jadon Sancho
Juventus are advancing in talks for Man Utd winger Jadon Sancho, according to Alfredo Pedulla.
Juventus have been in talks for Sancho for a number of weeks and Pedulla reported on Monday evening that "contact is intensifying" between the Italian club and the player.
Pedulla says that talks are getting "stronger and stronger" between Juventus and his entourage, with another direct conversation on Monday.
Sancho has made Juventus his priority destination this summer and Pedulla claims he is prepared to wait for the Bianconeri.
Will Sancho join Juventus?
Man Utd are demanding a fee of €25 million in order to sell Sancho this summer.
However, Pedulla says that Juventus have made it clear they will not pay that much for a player whose contract expires in one year.
Juventus are confident of negotiating a better deal as no other clubs are prepared to meet United's asking price, either.
Juventus were close to signing Sancho last year but a loan move to Turin fell through at the last minute and the player instead signed a one-season deal with Chelsea.
The Bianconeri have now resurrected their interest in the English winger and want to see if the conditions are there to finally bring Sancho to Italy.
There is also reported interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia in Sancho.
Sancho will definitely leave Man Utd this summer after returning to the club from Chelsea.
Sancho, 25, moved to Stamford Bridge last summer on a loan from Manchester United with an option to buy.
But Sancho struggled so badly that Chelsea even decided to pay a penalty fee to United in order to send him back rather than make the transfer permanent.
Sancho joined Man Utd from Dortmund for €85 million in the summer of 2021.
But he has been a major disappointment at Old Trafford.
He scored just 12 goals in 82 appearances for United and has been regularly a bench player during his time at the club.
He has had problems off the pitch and in 2023-24, Sancho was frozen out of the squad at Man Utd.
It came after then-manager Ten Hag criticised Sancho publicly for his poor performances in training, which was followed by the winger essentially calling his manager a liar on social media.
Sancho was not called up again after this incident and was barred from training with the first team, as well as using their facilities and canteen.
Sancho was also deleted from the team’s WhatsApp group by Ten Hag.
United transfer listed him and then sent him on loan to Dortmund in January where he rediscovered some of his form and helped the club to the Champions League final where they lost to Real Madrid.
He subsequently joined Chelsea last summer but struggled again.
