Roma make bid to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United

Roma have offered £20m to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. The 25-year-old has been told to find a new club and is not training with United's first team as the club assesses options before the transfer deadline. Sancho joined United for £73m four years ago. Juventus has also shown interest in the player. There have been reports Roma could pursue a loan with end-of-season clauses, but Sancho's contract expires next summer, and United has an option to extend for a further year, which may be costly given the wage. United remain keen to sell, and if a deal is not in place by the deadline they could consider a loan to reduce the wage bill. Four players, Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrrell Malacia, have been training away from boss Ruben Amorim's squad since pre-season as the club signals exits are likely.

The case tests how clubs balance talent with cost. In a window where wage bills influence options as much as transfer fees, Sancho’s future could hinge on the price of his contract and the willingness of United to offload salary. Roma’s approach shows a readiness to use both permanent moves and loans to shape a squad within financial limits. For Sancho, a move would be a chance to restart his career; for United, it would be a step toward restoring balance to an overstretched payroll.
