Inside Jadon Sancho transfer: All we know about clubs interested in signing Man Utd forward

Roma have made an offer worth in the region of £20million for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho who is reportedly interested in the move.

The 25-year-old has failed to live up to expectations since making his hotly anticipated £73m switch from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford in 2021.

Sancho has made just 83 appearances and scored 12 goals since making the move to United, who are hoping to get him off the books this summer.

There have been recent whispers of a move to Serie A and it is understood Roma have made a bid to sign the England international, whose contract runs until next summer with an option for a further year.

Negotiations are ongoing, and Sancho has opened the door to this move, though no final agreement has been reached, says ESPN.

Juventus are considered frontrunners to sign Sancho, having held positive talks with both Manchester United and Sancho’s representatives on July 17, 2025. However, their ability to finalize the deal depends on selling players like Nico Gonzalez to free up funds. A potential stumbling block is Sancho’s £250,000-a-week wages, as he’s unwilling to accept a pay cut.

Sancho is awaiting clarity on Borussia Dortmund’s stance regarding a potential return for a third spell. While communication lines remain open, Dortmund’s interest has cooled recently, with manager Niko Kovac yet to confirm if Sancho fits his tactical vision. The club is also exploring other attacking options.

Sancho has rejected a move to Turkish club Besiktas, indicating he’s not ready to join the Süper Lig. Besiktas remain interested but are waiting for Sancho to lower his salary demands, which are a significant hurdle.

Inter Milan have explored a move for Sancho as a backup option if they fail to sign Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.

Sancho last appeared for United in the Community Shield last season, when his penalty was saved in the shoot-out loss to his former club Manchester City.

The winger had returned having ended the 2023-24 campaign on loan back at Dortmund after being frozen out for claiming on social media that he had been made a “scapegoat”.

Those comments in September 2023 were in response to then United manager Erik ten Hag saying he had not reached the “level” required to be involved in their squad at Arsenal.

Sancho returned for last year’s pre-season at United but went on to join Chelsea on a season-long loan, only for the west London outfit to pay £5m to get out of their deal to make the move permanent for £25m.

The Manchester City youth graduate does not have a number at United and is one of a quintet of players that have did not train with Ruben Amorim’s side during pre-season as they seek a move elsewhere.

Homegrown forward Marcus Rashford was among them and last month sealed a season-long switch to Barcelona with the option to make the move permanent.

United want £50m for Chelsea target Alejandro Garnacho, while exits have also yet to be secured for Antony and Tyrell Malacia following loans at Real Betis and PSV respectively.
