JUVE GOTTA TAKE IT

MANCHESTER United have reportedly been offered three Juventus players in a potential swap deal for out-of-favour winger Jadon Sancho.

The 25-year-old has not featured for United since a public bekgeveg with former manager Erik ten Hag, who criticised Sancho’s training efforts. Sancho responded by challenging the manager’s claims, leading to his exclusion from the squad.

Following a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, Sancho joined Chelsea on a season-long loan with a £25 million (R605m) purchase option. However, Chelsea declined to make the move permanent, instead paying a £5m penalty to send him back to United, where he has one year left on his contract.

Current United boss Ruben Amorim appears unwilling to reintegrate Sancho, and the club is open to selling him. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports Juventus have shown interest, proposing a swap deal involving three players.

The first is midfielder Douglas Luiz, familiar with the Premier League from his time at Aston Villa. The second is striker Dusan Vlahovic, who scored 17 goals in 44 games last season and is available for transfer. The third is American international Timothy Weah, an attacking right-back with past stints at Celtic and Lille.

It is unclear whether all three players were formally included in a Sancho swap proposal or simply made available for separate talks. Juventus remain interested in signing Sancho, but are reportedly unwilling to meet his £250 000-a-week wage demands.

Though Sancho had previously agreed terms with Napoli, the move stalled over salary concerns.

Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund - where Sancho once thrived - have ruled out re-signing him. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl stated in June that Sancho “is not a topic” for the club, despite ongoing contact due to their shared history.

United are reportedly sukkeling to offload Sancho as his wages continue to put off potential suitors.
