Manchester United have reached deadline day and Jadon Sancho remains at the club.

The future of Jadon Sancho remains in the balance, with Manchester United increasingly keen to get rid – this despite the faux forgiveness between Sancho and Erik ten Hag.

Juventus and Chelsea had been in the running to give the 24-year-old an out from Old Trafford because if he stays, the chance of game-time looks bleak after being left out of the opening two Premier League games.

Now, despite prior confidence in Turin, Juventus’ move looks unlikely, here is what has been reported from Italy.

Juventus pull out of Jadon Sancho race

Juventus had looked like they were making headway to sign the talented winger this summer, but now it has been reported that the Serie A giants have pulled out.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Sancho’s Juventus move will now not be happening, with the Turin side withdrawing from the race.

The reason for this is that the costs are now seen to be too much for Juventus to pay, this high asking price meant Juventus were ultimately happy to accept what they have already as attacking options.

Fabrizio Romano also provided an update on the situation, explaining that negotiations are currently in a standstill in negotiations.

Juventus will not be continuing talks under the current conditions, however, there is still a chance to save the deal.

United will be hoping Juventus manage to shift more players out, while a price drop could also save the deal to get rid of Sancho.

Due to this, it now looks like United have placed a new asking price on Sancho, with The Athletic reporting that United now want just £25m – a drastic decrease from the initial £40m asking price.

Manchester United may have to deal with Chelsea

While shipping Sancho to Italy may have been preferred, ultimately it could be that the swap deal with Chelsea for Raheem Sterling is the only option.

The deal has some real financial benefits for United, with Sterling potentially offering far more to Ten Hag’s team at this point.

Sancho will almost certainly be gone by 11 pm today, but where remains a mystery.

Hopefully, it will be solved soon, as either way staying does not seem to be an option for the club.
