Transfer News: Juventus nears Jadon Sancho deal as winger agrees personal terms

Juventus set to complete Jadon Sancho deal

Juventus is reportedly on the verge of securing a big transfer coup, with English winger Jadon Sancho having reached an agreement in principle for a move to the Serie A giants.

According to Tuttosport, Sancho has agreed to a four-year contract worth over €5 million per season, with an option for an additional year and add-ons up to €1.5 million.

This willingness to take a pay cut underscores Sancho's prioritisation of a switch to Turin, as previously reported by Football Italia.

The personal terms represent a considerable compromise for the 25-year-old, who was earning a substantially higher wage at Manchester United.

Reports indicate that Sancho's current salary at Old Trafford is around £250,000 (€295,000) per week or over €10 million per year, meaning he is prepared to nearly halve his earnings to join the Bianconeri.

While Sancho's commitment to Juventus is seemingly sealed, negotiations between the two clubs are still ongoing and proving to be the main hurdle.

Tuttosport confirms that Manchester United's asking price for the Englishman has dropped to €25 million, a significant reduction from the £73 million (€85 million) they paid for him in 2021.

However, Juventus' latest offer is reportedly around €10 million plus €5 million in bonuses, valuing the deal at a total of €15 million including add-ons. This disparity remains the key point of contention.

Despite the gap in valuations, Juventus is reportedly confident of reaching an agreement with Manchester United within the coming week.

The Red Devils are keen to offload Sancho, whose career at Old Trafford has failed to ignite, especially after being frozen out of the squad and enduring loan spells at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. Chelsea notably opted out of their loan-to-buy obligation for Sancho, paying a £5 million penalty instead.

Meanwhile, Juventus is actively working on multiple fronts to bolster their wide attacking options. They are simultaneously continuing negotiations with Porto to retain Francisco Conceição, who impressed during his loan spell. Porto's asking price for Conceição has reportedly been reduced to €25 million, though his release clause is set to rise to €45 million after July 15th, urging quick action from Juventus.

Should both deals materialise, Juventus would look to facilitate the departures of wingers Samuel Mbangula and Nico Gonzalez to accommodate the new arrivals.

This dual pursuit highlights Juventus' ambition to strengthen their squad depth and inject fresh dynamism into their attack for the upcoming season
