Transfer News: Sancho linked with unexpected move as suitors emerge

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho's likely next destination has reportedly emerged following his return from a loan spell at Chelsea. 

The England international concluded his time at Stamford Bridge with a goal in their Conference League final triumph.

Despite registering five goals and 10 assists from 41 appearances across all competitions, a permanent £25 million transfer to Chelsea did not materialise. 

The London club reportedly declined to meet the Englishman’s terms, leading to his return to his parent club with an uncertain future.

According to The Mirror, Sancho is now expected to join one of the biggest clubs in the Saudi Pro League in the coming months.

Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are all reportedly monitoring the situation, contemplating formal approaches for the player. 

The three clubs are believed to be among the few in world football prepared to match Sancho's substantial £300,000-per-week wages. 

As per the report, the exact transfer fee the Red Devils would demand remains unclear. 

However, it appears probable that the Old Trafford hierarchy will seek to generate more than the £25 million Chelsea were due to pay had they made the move permanent. 

Sancho’s potential sale could be crucial for United as they aim to generate funds for their summer squad overhaul, especially with manager Ruben Amorim reportedly having no plans to reintegrate the forward into the squad.

The Red Devils return to action in pre-season next month.
