Jadon Sancho is bound to leave Man United this summer. With Juventus leading the race, his next club is painfully obvious.
The love-hate story between Jadon Sancho and Man United is finally coming to an end. Or at least, that's what fans are hoping for.
The England international, when he was signed from Borussia Dortmund, arrived with plenty of excitement attached to his name. Admittedly this was fueled by the price tag, but everybody expected him to be a star upon his return to Manchester.
Long story short, it didn't work out like that. Now, Jadon Sancho looks set to be leaving, without fans ever really experiencing what he could have achieved had it not been for all the drama.
Jadon Sancho looks set for Juventus move
According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus is one step away from Jadon Sancho. This week is expected to be a pivotal week, with both Juventus and Jadon Sancho wanting the deal to happen.
The Italian outlet is not naive to the fact that Jadon Sancho earns a huge wage at Man United. However, the good news for Juventus is that Sancho would be willing to make a sacrifice there, so he's willing to work with the Old Lady.
Furthermore, Juventus wants to sign Jadon Sancho permanently, rather than offer a loan route for him. This would be Man United's preference. Right now, there is a €5m difference in valuation: Juve sees Sancho as worth €25m, whereas Man United wants €30m.
Man United must stop playing hard
Man United should be willing to meet Juventus in the middle. After all, there's not a place for Sancho in the Man United squad, so they can either accept €25m now, or risk making nothing and seeing him run another year of his contract down.
Sancho might not be the most popular figure at Man United, but the truth of the matter is that he never did anything to outrightly harm Man United. His feud with Erik ten Hag should be taken with a pinch of salt, considering, well, Erik ten Hag had feuds with every name under the sun.
