Juventus close in on Manchester United flop Sancho and working on Conceição deal

The Bianconeri are working on two fronts to bolster their attack. The Manchester United winger's signing hinges on one key detail.

Juventus's interest in Jadon Sancho is nothing new, but it has gained momentum in recent hours.

According to Italian media reports, the Bianconeri are looking to accelerate the signing of the winger from Manchester United.

Sancho set for Man United departure

Gazetta dello Sport reports, via Abola, that negotiations between the Red Devils and Juventus have been cordial and are approaching the €25 million mark, a figure considered suitable by both parties. However, the signing hinges on one key aspect: Sancho's salary.

According to Tuttosport, Sancho earns around €10 million annually, a wage considered prohibitive by Juventus. The 25-year-old English winger is reportedly keen to join Igor Tudor's side as soon as possible, but the outcome of the negotiations depends on a reduction in his salary demands.

Next week should bring further developments on a deal that would benefit all parties: Juventus would secure a winger capable of elevating their attack, Manchester United would offload a surplus player, and Sancho would gain a fresh start after loan spells at Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund over the past two seasons.

Francisco Conceição remains in the picture

According to Italian media, the pursuit of Sancho does not preclude negotiations for Francisco Conceição.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that permanently acquiring the FC Porto winger might be postponed to prioritise finalising the deal for the English player.

The distinct profiles of Sancho and Conceição, who typically operate on opposite flanks, make both signings potentially viable. For now, negotiations with Manchester United have been smoother than those with FC Porto, who are reluctant to lower their asking price for the Portuguese winger.
