He's going to end up being on the move after all? That's what countless Manchester United fans have in mind when it comes to winger Jadon Sancho. When the club pulled off the groundbreaking transfer for him in 2021, expectations were high.

He never lived up to the hype, was loaned out after a falling out with Erik Ten Hag and now United is working overtime to get rid of him. Enter Juventus? At first, it seemed like MUFC was going to run into even more issues in offloading Sancho, as he reportedly didn't want to take a pay cut.

However, recent reports have stated that conversations with Juventus have been positive and talks between the clubs are heating up. At this point, United is going to have to take less than market value for him, which is something the EPL giants look ready to do:

Manchester United and Juventus are getting close on a Jadon Sancho deal

Originally, United paid Borussia Dortmund £73 million for Sancho's transfer. Fast forward to present time, though, and MUFC is now about to get around £25 million. That's a big-time loss in the original investment, but at this point, United can't get greedy.

Originally, the hope was that Chelsea FC would trigger the buy option on Sancho after he played for the club last season. Instead, CFC decided to bail on things, which complicated life for Omar Berrada, Ruben Amorim and others.

Sancho is one of the many players the United board is hoping to sell in the coming weeks. He's joined on the list by Rasmus Hojlund, Alejando Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony and maybe Andre Onana? Getting things across the line with Sancho first must be the priority.

He's still only 25 years old, but he has no future at Old Trafford. It's a shame that things never worked out for him. His goal against Liverpool at home in a 2-1 win was a highlight for Sancho in a United kit, but other than that, he didn't have very many other positive memories. Perhaps things will go better for him in Italy - if things get finalized of course.
