Man Utd given 'no choice' in Jadon Sancho transfer compromise with Juventus

Manchester United have accepted that they will have 'no choice' but to accept a fee of less than £25million from Juventus to facilitate a move this summer. The Italian giants have refused to meet the Red Devils' asking price and the Premier League side are now set to negotiate a new fee.

Sancho is not part of United's plans under Ruben Amorim and is in search of pastures new during the transfer window. United had hoped to sell the winger for £25m after signing him for £73m in 2021.

But the former Borussia Dortmund winger is in the final year of his contract and spent last season on loan at Chelsea. The Blues opted to pay a £5m penaltyto avoid signing the England international permanently this summer.

As a result, Sancho has returned to Old Trafford but is training away from United's first team. The 25-year-old joins Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia in being told to report for training but only from 5pm — after Amorim's side have completed their work of the day.

And with little more than six weeks of the transfer window remaining, the club appear to have accepted they will need to alter their demands to move Sancho on. Football Italia report that Old Trafford chiefs have ultimately recognised they will not receive the fee they have been holding out for and must negotiate a lower figure.

Sancho is said to be keen on a move to Juve and prepared to wait for Igor Tudor's side to do a deal. The Turin team have stepped up negotiations as a result as they look to agree a deal with United.

The wantaway star has seen his salary pose problems this summer with Chelsea unable to come to terms. But Sancho is said to be willing to take a pay-cut to to accept an €8m-a-year (£7m) deal — less than half his reported current wages of £300,000-a-week.

Juve meanwhile are said to bewilling offer players to United in order to come to an agreement with United. Dusan Vlahovic is among those available, with the Serbian striker also in the final year of his deal.

United have previously been interested in the forward who was heavily linked with Arsenal before moving to Turin. Now, the 25-year-old looks set to leave.

Douglas Luiz is also said to be on offer. The former Aston Villa midfielder, 27, spent five years at Aston Villa before making the switch to Serie A but has failed to cement his place.

Timothy Weah is reported to be another option available. The winger recently turned down a move to Nottingham Forest, it is said.
