Manchester United are planning to prioritise a permanent transfer for winger Jadon Sancho this summer, rather than immediately entertaining loan offers, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 25-year-old’s future remains uncertain following his loan spell at Chelsea last season who decided against signing the winger in a permanent move.
United’s decision to look for a permanent transfer reflects both financial and sporting reasons.
The Red Devils are looking to raise funds for their transfer business this summer and Sancho is a player who is not a part of manager Ruben Amorim’s long term plans at Old Trafford.
Man United want to sell Jadon Sancho permanently
The club is keen to recoup a significant portion of the £73 million they spent to sign Sancho from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, and a permanent sale would also help ease the burden on their wage bill.
The English star is one of the highest earners at Old Trafford, with an estimated weekly salary exceeding £250,000, which has proven to be a major hurdle for interested clubs.
Among the early suitors are Napoli, who have expressed a degree of interest in bringing Sancho to Serie A.
However, sources indicate that the Italian club are reluctant to meet his current wage demands, and negotiations remain in the preliminary stages.
A deal would likely require a significant salary adjustment in case of a permanent transfer and if it is a loan move then United would need to contribute to his wages.
Wolves have shown interest in Man United star
Jadon Sancho’s future at Man United is still not sorted.
The former Borussia Dortmund man has also been linked with a move to Premier League club Wolves, who have lost their star player Matheus Cunha to the Red Devils.
While a loan move has not been ruled out entirely, United are expected to resist temporary deals unless no permanent options emerge as the window progresses.
The coming weeks will be crucial as United aim to resolve Sancho’s future, with a view to restructuring their squad…
