Manchester United change Jadon Sancho price tag as Juventus deal ‘collapses completely’

Manchester United have changed the price tag they have put on Jadon Sancho as his proposed move to Juventus collapses ahead of deadline day.

Manchester United are hoping to push through multiple sales on the final day of the transfer window as they raise cash following the signings of Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, and Manuel Ugarte.

Erik ten Hag has already raised over £60 million through the sales of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Greenwood, Willy Kambwala, and others, and more are expected before Friday’s 11 p.m. deadline.

Jadon Sancho is the most likely high-value asset to still leave on Friday; however, a fresh twist has been added to the saga.

According to Gianluca di Marzio, Juventus, thought to be the front-runners for Sancho this summer, have completely withdrawn from the race.

They have decided to drop their interest in Sancho due to the performances of 20-year-old Samuel Mbangula, who has played well under Thiago Motta so far.

It is reported that Juventus feel that signing Sancho would hinder Mbangula’s development, and previous reports have also stated that the Serie A club feels that the cost of his transfer is too high.

Meanwhile, a report from The Athletic released on Friday morning states that Sancho no longer has the value of the £40 million price tag United put on the 24-year-old winger.

With the club keen to move him on before the 11 pm deadline, Sancho is now said to have a value of around £25 million, which may make him much more attractive to other clubs on deadline day. It is thought that Chelsea are interested in the player.

When quizzed on Sancho, Ten Hag has always avoided making any commitments, explaining that he needs quality across the pitch to compete for titles.

If Sancho is not moved on, he is expected to reintegrate into Ten Hag’s matchday squads, having patched up their differences during pre-season after he was banished from the team last campaign.
