Italian giants pushing to sign second Man Utd star after Sancho agreement

Jadon Sancho may not be the only Manchester United player swapping Old Trafford for Italy this summer.

Juventus have engaged in discussions to sign Manchester United forwards Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, as part of United’s efforts to offload five players this summer, including Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia.

Sancho, sidelined from United’s first team since August 2023 under Erik ten Hag, spent last season on loan at Chelsea, who paid £5 million to avoid a permanent deal.

Juventus are reportedly close to finalizing a £13 million agreement for Sancho after positive talks with his agent on Wednesday, despite United’s initial £72 million investment in 2021.

Sky Sports Italia notes that during further discussions, Juventus also initiated exploratory talks for Rashford, who, like Sancho, is not in Ruben Amorim’s plans after being excluded from the squad in December.

Meanwhile, after weeks of negotiations, United have finally agreed a deal to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for a total package of around 71 million pounds.

Mbeumo is Amorim's second attacking signing after Matheus Cunha arrived from Wolves.
