Rumors from England suggest Jadon Sancho’s entourage could arrive in Italy in the coming days. It might just be another round of transfer speculation, but the possible mission by the English winger’s agents underlines one thing: Sancho is sending clear signals to Juventus.The Manchester United player is reportedly open to reducing his salary, currently unaffordable for the Bianconeri, and is urging his club not to demand an excessive transfer fee. In Turin, these gestures are appreciated, but the reality is that Juventus has already spent around 100 million euros this summer, including last season’s obligations, agent fees for Jonathan David, and the pending Francisco Conceiçao deal.With zero sales so far, Juve can’t afford another financial outlay without offloading some players. That’s why Sancho remains on standby, despite being Tudor’s preferred reinforcement on the wing.The flanks are already crowded: Timothy Weah is nearing a move to Marseille, Alberto Costa is in talks with Sporting CP, and Samuel Mbangula has strong interest from Werder Bremen. Still, the most important name for unlocking Sancho’s arrival is Nico Gonzalez. The Argentine has suitors in Italy, Spain (Atletico Madrid), and Saudi Arabia (Al Ahli). Juventus hopes to raise around 30 million euros to avoid recording a loss on his sale.
If that domino falls, Sancho might finally get his black-and-white stripes. Until then, it’s a waiting game.
