Sancho transfer update

Manchester United expect Jadon Sancho to depart before the transfer deadline amid wage talks and reported Roma interest.

Man United set to sell Jadon Sancho ahead of deadline

Manchester United remain confident they will offload Jadon Sancho before the transfer window closes, according to Mick Brown, a former United scout with strong ties to the club. Brown told Football Insider that several clubs have shown interest but terms have not been agreed. United have previously signalled they would sell at a loss if needed and have not found a buyer this summer. Sancho's wage demands are a major obstacle for European clubs, and a move to a Saudi side has been suggested if no European option materialises.

The latest twist involves Roma reportedly withdrawing from talks after being unable to meet his wage expectations. United are also pushing other exits, with Ruben Amorim seeking to move Rasmus Hojlund before the deadline. Milan is said to be the front-runner for Hojlund, though the striker has shown a desire to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford. The window remains open and Manchester United hope to resolve the situation soon.

The Sancho saga exposes how clubs balance playing time with payrolls in a tight transfer market. Wage costs are a central gatekeeper, shaping what deals are possible and who can afford them. United appear to be aiming for a clean exit that avoids long term cost, while the player risks a stalled year if no move materialises. This case mirrors a wider trend where economics can redefine football value as much as on field performance.
