Manchester United are desperate to move the likes of Jadon Sancho on, as INEOS looks to raise capital to help reinforce Ruben Amorim’s squad by selling unwanted stars.
The Englishman was supposed to move to Chelsea permanently after the Blues qualified for the Champions League and also won the UEFA Conference League.
However, Enzo Maresca was not too pleased with his inconsistency, and the Stamford Bridge side failed to agree on fresh terms which meant they did not trigger the £25 million buy option, instead choosing to send him back to Old Trafford while paying a £5 million penalty to INEOS.
Now, the 25-year-old has once again become United’s headache, with West Ham turning down a direct sale and a swap deal while the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Brentford all circle.
Sancho’s next destination?
The Premier League sides will need a paycut, which the England international might not be too happy to accept. There is also interest from Juventus and Galatasaray, and now their Turkish rivals have also joined the race.
As per Milliyet, officials from Fener were even in Manchester to hold transfer talks with the Red Devils for the ex-Manchester City academy graduate.
Jose Mourinho’s side are looking to qualify for the main draw of the Champions League next stage, and want to assemble a strong attacking team for the Portuguese manager.
“JADON SANCHO IS ALSO ON THE LIST: On the other hand, the management has made an England visit. There are names requested from Tottenham and Manchester United.

“One of these names is Jadon Sancho, who plays for United. Negotiations are also ongoing for different players.”
While the Turkish side can afford to pay United’s asking price, they are unlikely to be able to afford Sancho’s wages of £250,000 per week (via capology).
Fener’s highest wage goes to centre-back Milan Skriniar who earns €144,231 gross per week (capology). Once again, United will either need to payoff Jadon Sancho or the attacker needs to halve his demands or a move to Saudi Arabia could be the way to go.
The player reportedly wants to stay in the Premier League and with one year left on his current deal, United will be desperate to shift his wages and move him on as soon as possible to avoid the saga from turning into a distraction.
