Juventus are leading the race to sign Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho before the transfer deadline.

Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United will become a lot clearer in just over 24 hours time.

After being re-integrated into the Manchester United first team squad, Jadon Sancho is being tipped to leave the club.

Sancho has not played a single minute in the first two Premier League matches, failing to make the bench.

Juventus tipped for move

Juventus are leading the race to sign Jadon Sancho, with negotiations ongoing between the clubs over a move.

Juventus were even claimed to have an agreement, via European journalist Fabrice Hawkins, who claimed a move would be a loan with an obligation to buy.

Yet the picture remains murky, with Chelsea in the mix. The Guardian claim Sancho is holding out for a move to Stamford Bridge.

Sancho would be welcomed

Former Juventus winger Federico Bernardeschi, now playing in Major League Soccer, has told Gazzetta dello Sport that he would support Sancho’s move to his former club.

Bernardeschi believes Sancho can play a key role in new manager Thiago Motta’s new-look Juventus.

He explained he was impressed by the form Sancho showed at Borussia Dortmund last season.

He explained: “Let’s give Thiago time because I’m convinced that a wonderful team can be created. It will be a great Juve, if Sancho were to arrive too it would be the best.

“The player I saw in the last six months at Borussia Dortmund can break the balance. He has the imagination and the play, another Yildiz, but who moves on the wing.”

Whether Sancho moves to Juventus will ultimately depend on two factors, one being his willingness to make the switch.

The second is financial, United’s preference would be a permanent sale, and at least a loan with an obligation clause – with the majority of Sancho’s wages paid.
