Jadon Sancho's Potential Move to AS Roma Hangs in the Balance

As the transfer window nears its climax, Manchester United and AS Roma are locked in negotiations over the future of winger Jadon Sancho. Reports indicate Roma have tabled a £20 million bid for the 25-year-old England international, a figure Manchester United are prepared to accept. However, the deal hinges on Sancho agreeing to personal terms, a decision he has yet to finalize.

Sancho, who earns approximately £300,000 per week at United, returned from a loan spell at Chelsea earlier this summer. His stint at Stamford Bridge saw him score five goals and provide ten assists, contributing to their Conference League triumph. Despite this, Chelsea opted against a permanent transfer, sending him back to United for £5 million. Since then, Sancho has trained separately from the first team, signaling his likely departure.

The move aligns with Manchester United’s efforts to comply with UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations, which require clubs to balance spending with revenue. Roma, under new coach Gian Piero Gasperini, see Sancho as a key addition to their Europa League campaign. With the Premier League deadline looming on August 30, all eyes are on Sancho’s next move as talks continue.
