The transfer window is heating up, and Jadon Sancho’s future is once again in the spotlight.
Roma have stepped forward with an offer, hoping to take the Manchester United winger on a season-long loan.
With the clock ticking on deals before the window shuts, the Italian side is pushing to secure his signature.
Sancho’s Situation at Old Trafford
Sancho’s time at Manchester United has been far from smooth.
Since his falling out at the club, he’s been sidelined and is no longer part of manager Ruben Amorim’s long-term plans.
United, however, are not keen on another temporary move.
With his hefty £250,000-a-week wages, the club would rather cash in with a permanent transfer, ideally in the region of £20–25 million.
Other Clubs Keeping an Eye
Roma aren’t the only ones circling.
Juventus and Sancho’s former team, Borussia Dortmund, have also been linked with a possible move.
Both sides are weighing their options as the deadline edges closer, and his availability makes him one of the more intriguing names on the market.
A Career of Loans and Flashes
Sancho’s journey has been a rollercoaster.
Signed from Dortmund in 2021 for a huge £73 million fee, his time in Manchester hasn’t quite lived up to the expectations.
He has made 83 appearances, finding the net 12 times and providing six assists.
Last season, he spent time on loan at Chelsea, where he managed to win the Conference League, and before that, he had another temporary return to Dortmund.
United’s Summer Clear-Out
Sancho may not be the only one packing his bags.
United are also exploring exits for Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia as the club reshapes its squad under Amorim.
It signals a major shift at Old Trafford as the manager looks to refresh his options for the new campaign.
Roma’s Wider Interest
While chasing Sancho, Roma are also eyeing Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey.
The Jamaican winger has been with Villa since 2021, scoring 22 goals in 144 appearances.
With two years left on his deal, Bailey’s future is also uncertain, and a move could be on the cards if Villa agree to let him leave.
What Comes Next?
The race for Sancho is now in full swing.
Roma’s loan bid, United’s preference for a sale, and other clubs’ interest make the situation fluid.
Whether he heads to Italy, returns to Germany, or finds a new challenge elsewhere, Sancho’s next move will likely be one of the transfer stories to watch as the window draws to a close.
