According to Italian media, Juventus are ready to offer Manchester United players worth €130 million in exchange for Jadon Sancho.
There is no doubt that the “Red Devils” want to remove the former €85 million signing from the payroll. Jadon Sancho was recently returned to Manchester United after Chelsea failed to agree terms with him following his season-long loan spell at Stamford Bridge.

In recent days, clubs from Italy, in particular, have shown interest in Sancho. Both Juventus and Napoli have started talks with the player’s representatives and Man Utd to assess the possibilities of a transfer.
Napoli were first – but not priority
Last week, it was revealed that Sancho is prioritising talks with Napoli, as they were the first club to make a concrete approach. However, there is one problem: Sancho does not seem to be a top priority for Napoli.
Already last week, when it became clear that it would be difficult to cover Sancho’s salary, the Italian champions started talks with Bologna winger Dan Ndoye, who quickly expressed his interest in a transfer. The talks between the two clubs will now intensify.
Napoli door closes – Juventus door opens
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, today, Monday, a “summit meeting” will be held between Bologna and Napoli to discuss the price of the Swiss international. Bologna are reportedly insisting on a transfer fee of €40 million, which is a significant expense for Napoli.
The outcome of the negotiations for Ndoye is likely to determine whether Napoli formalize their interest in Sancho, which currently leaves the 25-year-old in an uncertain situation.
Juventus accelerates their pursuit
In the midst of all this, Juventus are ready to step up their pursuit of Sancho. La Gazzetta also reports that “La Vecchia Signora” is willing to offer players in exchange for the former England international.
This was already attempted in the first 10 days of the summer transfer window, when Juventus started talks with Man Utd over a deal that would have sent Douglas Luiz to Manchester and Antony to Turin.
But the Brazilian prioritizes a look back at Real Betis, and the conversation was left dead in the water when Juventus fired sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli. Now, however, the Italian giants are ready to revive the bid – this time for Sancho.
Vlahovic also on the table
Another player who could be offered is the much critical striker Dušan Vlahović. Just like Man Utd with Sancho, Juventus are desperate to get the Serbian international off their payroll.
FootballTransfers recently revealed that Vlahović had already been offered to Man Utd by his representatives earlier this summer, with initial talks over a transfer. Vlahović and Luiz cost Juventus over €130 million, so the Red Devils could potentially get a good deal here.
