Juventus Pushes to Sign Sancho Before Pre-Season Begins

Jadon Sancho
  • Juventus hopes to complete the Sancho deal before pre-season kicks off.
  • Jadon Sancho is ready to accept a salary cut to join the Bianconeri.
  • Tudor wants a full squad for the Germany training camp in early August.
  • Nottingham Forest remains a threat in the race for the winger.

Time is running out, and both Jadon Sancho and Juventus coach Igor Tudor are hoping for quick moves. With pre-season starting Thursday at Continassa, Tudor wants his squad nearly complete before the club heads to Germany for training camp on August 2.

The Croatian manager is focused on shaping his team before the Serie A opener against Parma on August 24. Jonathan David and Francisco Conceição are already in, but Sancho is now the main target. Juventus is looking to add him as their third key signing of the summer.

Sancho Ready for a Salary Cut

Sancho, still under contract with Manchester United, is making efforts to push the deal forward. He is open to reducing his salary, and his agents are working to lower the Red Devils’ demands. This makes the move more financially viable for Juventus.

Forest Still in the Picture

Nottingham Forest has shown recent interest in Sancho. Coach Nuno Espírito Santo believes the former Borussia Dortmund star still has top-level potential. With a transfer fee estimated at €20 million, Forest could be a real threat if Juventus continues to hesitate.

This situation is similar to last year when Chelsea swooped in after a Juventus approach. The Bianconeri will need to act fast to avoid a repeat.

Big Departures Still on Hold

Meanwhile, Juventus has not made much progress on key outgoing deals. Dusan Vlahovic is still difficult to move, Nico González is only attracting early interest, and Douglas Luiz could return to the Premier League. Of the three, Luiz is seen as the easiest to sell.

As the transfer window heats up, Sancho’s case remains the most pressing for Tudor, who hopes to welcome a key signing in the coming days.
