Jadon Sancho’s transfer to Juventus hits a snag amid salary and squad hurdles
Jadon Sancho’s potential transfer from Manchester United to Juventus has stalled, with financial constraints and squad overcrowding in Turin slowing progress. According to GiveMeSport, Juventus must sell attackers before submitting a formal bid for the 24-year-old winger.
Sancho, who is training away from United’s first team, is not in manager Erik ten Hag’s plans. The club views a departure as the best outcome, but talks have reached an impasse.
Salary Demands and Roster Issues Block Deal
The main obstacles are Juventus’s need to trim its attacking ranks and Sancho’s current wages, which exceed the Italian club’s salary cap. The Serie A side is exploring ways to make the deal viable without breaching its budget.
Without movement on player sales or a compromise on wages, a quick agreement appears unlikely. Manchester United is open to offers but seeks to recover part of the €85 million investment it made when signing Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.
Juventus Still Interested, But Time Is Short
Juventus remains keen on the player and is monitoring developments closely. The final decision may hinge on whether the Italians can offload players in time or if Sancho agrees to a reduced salary to facilitate the move.
The transfer window’s looming deadline adds pressure to both sides to reach a resolution.
Mixed Loan Spell in Germany
Last season, Sancho split his time between Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, returning to the Bundesliga on loan in early 2025. He made 18 appearances, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
Although he delivered flashes of quality especially in high-stakes matches his performances were not enough to earn a recall to United’s plans, reinforcing the push for a permanent exit.
