Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is set to be of interest, once again, to sides in the Saudi Pro League after failed attempts to sign him last summer.
Jadon Sancho is currently still training away from the first team squad after Erik ten Hag made the decision to banish him from the setup until he apologises to the Dutchman following his post on X back in September.
That apology does not seem forthcoming, however, so a move away from Manchester United looks like being the best solution for everyone.
It has emerged that Sancho will be the subject of intense interest once again in the January transfer window.
Sancho and the Saudi Pro League
According to a report from the Daily Telegraph, alongside Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison, the Saudi Pro League are keen on pinching some of the Premier League’s more high-profile players with Sancho being one of them.
The report states that after they failed in their attempts to sign Heung-Min Son and Mohamed Salah, the out-of-form pair are being targeted.
Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq are said to remain the most interested in the former Borussia Dortmund winger but the 23-year-old was not originally interested in moving to the Middle East.
It is currently unclear whether that stance held by Sancho in the summer has changed or not.
Saudi Arabia the best option for United
It seems the Middle East are keen on taking a few United players with Casemiro and Raphael Varane reportedly attracting interest from sides in the Pro League according to the 90min podcast.
Moving these players on to pastures new may well not be a bad thing and with the Pro League having endless amounts of money for buying players, United could be in line to receive a big windfall of cash.
This cash has to be used to replace these players if they are to leave and with Ineos’ purchase of the club set to be ratified soon, this could be their first big test at Old Trafford.
