MU is selling Jadon Sancho in this summer transfer window, and it seems that Juventus may be his next stop.
Earlier, Chelsea had to pay 5 million pounds of fines to cancel the official contract agreement with Sancho, which means that this wing player needs to find a new club in the summer market.
Fenerbahce was once mentioned as a potential destination for Sancho, and if the former Dortmund star moved to Türkiye, it would be the most obvious evidence for the tragic slide in his career.
Juventus is clearly a much more attractive option. Although no longer the force like previous years, the Turin team was still a big club in Europe and an attractive destination for the players.
According to some sources, Juventus is looking to recruit Sancho, and they are ready to negotiate a exchange deal, giving a few names in the squad in exchange for the service of the British player.
Dusan Vlahovic, Timothy Weah and Douglas Luiz are three names mentioned as potential “exchanges”. However, only Vlahovic and Luiz are the people who can actually make MU consider.
Weah played in the right wing corridor – the position that coach Ruben Amorim did not lack people, and he did not have enough quality to wear the Red Devils. Meanwhile, Vlahovic is a striker, and Luiz is the central midfielder who once impressed in the Premier League during the time of playing for Aston Villa.
Vlahovic was once considered as one of the best young strikers in Europe when joining Juventus in 2022. Despite not fully meet the expectations, the Serbian player still has a respectable scoring performance.
He will definitely bring more value to Man United compared to Sancho at the present time, and will be a quality plan in the center – the position that is a big problem when Rasmus Hojlund is too blunt.
Vlahovic may not be a “blockbuster” contract, but if you come to Old Trafford as part of the deal with Sancho, the fans will not complain.
An agreement with Juventus may be a simple and reasonable solution: just brought a striker to strengthen the attack, and Sancho off.
However, it can also be reasonable if the chosen person is Douglas Luiz, not Vlahovic, because MU is also in need of strengthening the middle line after a unstable first season of Manuel Ugarte.
The Red Devils aim to reach the Top 6 Premier League next season – but can they do it if the middle line is mainly Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes? It sounds not convincing.
Ugarte has a season of launching, and Luiz can be a significant upgrade. In the 2023/24 season, the Brazilian midfielder scored 10 goals and created 10 times for Aston Villa. The reason Villa accepted him to Juventus simply because the requirement to comply with sustainable profit regulations (PSR).
Luiz is a typical shuttle midfielder and can become an ideal partner for Fernandes. He has good defense, energy -rich – something that Amorim coach is very high on his players.
MU needs to solve Sancho's future, who still has a contract. A deal with Juventus will bring many benefits if the two sides can agree on the appropriate contract structure.
Both Vlahovic and Luiz are not “waste goods” and can completely become valuable to the Red Devils squad. Meanwhile, Sancho's expedion will also help MU solve the problem – an arrow hit two targets.
