Jadon Sancho’s agent has been in talks with several Premier League clubs since he left Manchester United, Football Insider has learned.
A number of clubs in the top division have been contacted about the 26-year-old’s availability after he left Man United on a free transfer in June – although it is unclear how strong the interest really is.

Aston Villa were given the opportunity to sign the winger after his loan spell, but chose not to make the stay permanent due to his high wage demands.
As I revealed in the latest edition of Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, Sancho’s agent is working hard to find his next club and has been talking to Premier League clubs.
Despite the rejection from Aston Villa, the former England international is still highly sought after, and several English clubs have considered making moves this month.
After the transfer window closed on September 1, Sancho is seen as an option for clubs that missed out on signing offensive reinforcements during the summer.
How close is Jadon Sancho to joining his next club?
Football Insider reported a few days ago that Jadon Sancho is not expected to join his next club anytime soon, but will instead take the time to consider a number of options.
Premier League clubs are not the only ones who have expressed interest in the winger – clubs in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil and Turkey are also following his situation.

Sancho’s agent has held talks with a number of clubs and offered his client given his availability, but it remains to be seen if any of them follow up on their interest.
In the Transfer Insider podcast, I explained: “Premier League clubs have been keeping an eye on Jadon Sancho’s situation.
“His representatives have offered him around and spoken to a number of Premier League clubs, who have shown interest because of his status as a free agent.
“Talks have been held, but for now it remains to be seen if any of the clubs contacted are ready to make a move for him.
“There has been interest, as you said, from the United Arab Emirates, the Saudi Pro League, Turkey and even Brazil, so as it stands now, Sancho is weighing up all the options available to him.
“He hopes to get back to playing and get a new club in order as soon as possible and work is being done to find a solution for him.”
The interest in Sancho comes at a time when Aston Villa chose not to sign him early in the summer transfer window, despite the fact that he impressed during his loan spell under Unai Emery.
The winger played a key role in the team that won the Europa League, but Villa chose not to make the stay permanent – and instead brought in Alejandro Garnacho on loan.
Former Aston Villa scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Aston Villa pulled out of signing Sancho because he didn’t want to budge on his high financial demands.
The same problem saw the winger miss out on a move to Chelsea after his loan spell at Stamford Bridge in the 2024/25 season, despite the Blues agreeing terms with Man United.
His demands are believed to be at a level equivalent to the £250,000 a week he earned at Man United – which priced him out of a move to most European clubs during the summer.
