Man United ‘agree deal’ to sell Jadon Sancho

The player is keen on the move

Manchester United have reportedly ‘agreed a deal’ to sell Jadon Sancho with the player said to be keen on the move.

Rumour has been swirling in recent weeks around the player leaving Old Trafford after an unhappy spell at the club.

The deal will include a loan with an obligation to buy as reported by Fabrice Hawkins.

It had been suggested that a swap deal could be on the cards with Chelsea and Raheem Sterling, however this did not materialise.

With Federico Chiesa’s departure to Liverpool earlier today for £10.95m, Juventus have instantly filled the void with another winger.

The 24-year-old fell out with manager Erik ten Hag last season leading to a period on the side lines for the player.

However, despite Englishman having since reportedly making up with Ten Hag, the player has remained keen to leave the club.

Fabrizio Romano reported last week that “Jadon, [is] open to leaving United,” after links had been made with the Italian giants.

Sancho has failed to reach the same heights at Manchester United that earned him a £73m from Borussia Dortmund where he was electric, scoring 53 goals and assisting 67 in 158 games.

Since joining United he has scored 12 goals and assisted 6 in 83 games.

Sancho went back to Dortmund on loan last January to try and reignite some form, as he showed sparks of his old self as he helped Dortmund to a Champions League final.

It is as of yet unconfirmed how much the eventual fee of the loan with obligation to buy will amount to.

However, previously, Laurie Whitwell of the Athletic reported that the club are asking for £40million for the transfer of the player.
