Manchester United may hand severance package to Jadon Sancho
Manchester United are reportedly ready to give a severance package to Jadon Sancho to expedite his move to Serie A club Juventus in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Jadon Sancho is the subject of interest from Juventus. The Serie A giants are eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Manchester United flop has emerged as a target for the Bianconeri.
The Red Devils want around €20 million to part ways with the Englishman, while the Serie A giants have submitted a bid worth €10 million plus €5 million in add-ons. Meanwhile, Manchester United may hand a severance package to Sancho to expedite his move to Juventus, which may lead to the player signing a €5.5-6 million-a-year contract at the Italian club.
Jadon Sancho and his Manchester United disasters
Jadon Sancho has been a dreadful signing since joining Manchester from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021. While the 25-year-old showed flashes of brilliance in his first few seasons with the Premier League club, the hype and fanfare surrounding him ended after a bust-up with Erik ten Hag. So, he has not played for Manchester United for nearly two years while spending the last 18 months on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.
The English international showed had some bright moments in the 2024/25 season but could not convince Chelsea to seal a permanent deal this summer. Sancho managed only five goals and ten assists in 41 appearances across all competitions, and he has returned to Manchester United. However, his stock in the market remains high, with Juventus among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Serie A adventure on the horizon?
Juventus’s interest in Jadon Sancho makes sense. The Serie A giants are combing the market for a new attacker this summer amid uncertainties surrounding a possible permanent move for Francisco Conceicao. So, the Manchester United outcast has emerged as a viable target for the Bianconeri.
Personal terms are not an issue, with the 25-year-old Englishman ready to take a pay cut to join Juventus in the summer transfer window. So, Juventus should be in a decent position to land Sancho. The latest update has boosted the Serie A club’s prospects, with Manchester United ready to hand him a severance package.
The Red Devils are keen on expediting Sancho’s exit before they embark on their pre-season tour to the United States. Meanwhile, the two clubs are not on the same page on the transfer fee, with Manchester United demanding €20 million to sell the English playmaker and Juventus offering €10 million plus €5 million in add-ons to secure his services.
