Manchester United have received an offer from AS Roma for Jadon Sancho, with the outcast forward expected to leave the club before the end of the month.
The Red Devils have been desperate to get Sancho off their books once and for all since the window opened back in June, but are still seeking suitors to try and facilitate a deal.
At the end of 2024/2025, Chelsea decided that the 25-year-old had not done enough throughout his season-long loan to warrant them honouring his £25 million buy obligation. Instead, they forked out £5 million to send him back to Manchester, where he instantly formed one fifth of United’s outcast quintet.
Marcus Rashford sealed his desired switch to Barcelona in July, leaving Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia as the remaining members of the ‘bomb squad’ at Carrington. It’s thought that each of the players has already played their final games for United.
Jadon Sancho: A fall from grace
Sancho’s substandard showings over the last four years mean he’s no longer a man in demand the way he used to be.
Around the time he swapped the Signal Iduna Park for Old Trafford, he was one of the hottest attacking prospects in world football, prompting United to shell out a whopping £73m to prise him from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
Now, after recording just 12 goals and six assists in 83 appearances for the Reds, Sancho finds himself at a stagnant point in his career – when he should, realistically, just be entering his prime.
Sancho offered Serie A exit route
With no Premier League outfits willing to take a punt on the former Manchester City academy star, Sancho looks poised to ply his trade in an all-new environment in the form of Serie A.
BBC Sport claims (via Match of the Day) that Roma have ‘made an offer’ for Sancho this week and are awaiting a response from United. Juventus retain their interest in signing the Englishman, but they are prioritising the arrival of Ademola Lookman.
