Both English strikers will be made available by Manchester United before the upcoming season.
Juventus have made a strong entry into the English market with their sights set on two heavyweights: Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. The Turin club wants to strengthen their attacking line, and both United players are wanted by the board – although the negotiations depend on them being able to make room in the squad.

The future of Nicolás González is the key that could open the door to any transfers, as his departure is crucial to initiate these operations.
Sancho closest to Juventus
The case of Sancho is the most advanced. After two failed attempts, the English striker is closer than ever to donning Juventus’ colours. According to reports, there is already a verbal agreement between the player and Juventus, but an agreement between the clubs remains. United are demanding £20 million for the transfer – a sum that is considered high in Turin, where they want to halve the amount. Sancho’s arrival will also only be relevant if González is sold, with interest from both Al Ahly and Inter.
Rashford also on the radar
Juventus have also shown interest in Rashford, but the situation is more complicated. United value the striker at around €50 million, which is above the Italian club’s current budget – unless they manage to sell one or two players for a hefty sum. Nevertheless, the Juventus management is keeping a close eye in case an opportunity to reduce the price arises.
Conceição first – Sancho as an alternative
The immediate priority for Juventus is to secure Francisco Conceição, but if that deal does not materialise, Sancho will become the primary option. At the same time, “La Vecchia Signora” is keeping an eye on developments to strengthen the attack with English talent.
