Man United’s £14.58m Sancho sale target looms: Serie A clubs race to close deal

Manchester United is actively seeking to sell Jadon Sancho for at least £14.58 million to comply with the Premier League's profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR). Despite the club's initial £73 million investment in 2021, Sancho's performance has been underwhelming, with only nine Premier League goals in 58 appearances and just three league goals in the 2024/25 season.

Serie A clubs Juventus and Napoli are leading the race to sign the English winger. Juventus is making a second attempt to acquire Sancho after a failed effort last summer, while Sancho reportedly prefers a move to Napoli. However, United's asking price of £21 million ($28 million) may complicate negotiations, as it is significantly higher than the minimum fee required to avoid losses.

Sancho's eagerness to leave Manchester United is clear, and while the club aims to recoup as much as possible, the current market interest suggests a deal around the £14.58 million mark is feasible. This sale would mark a significant financial adjustment from the hefty transfer fee paid to Borussia Dortmund.

"United require a fee of £14.58m to avoid a loss on Sancho under the Premier League's profitability and sustainability regulations," a source noted.

The transfer saga highlights the challenges United faces in offloading a high-profile player whose form has not met expectations, while Serie A clubs see an opportunity to bolster their squads with a talented but underutilized winger.

As talks continue, both Sancho and United appear motivated to finalize a deal that benefits all parties involved.

Manchester United targets a £14.58m sale for Jadon Sancho, with Serie A clubs Juventus and Napoli showing strong interest. Sancho prefers Naples, but United's £21m asking price may complicate negotiations. The Red Devils aim to avoid losses under Premier League regulations amid Sancho's modest recent form.
