MU and Juventus are seeking to exchange players to be able to solve two problems in the contract, including Jadon Sancho and Dusan Vlahovic.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Juventus resumed negotiations with MU on a potential exchange agreement related to Vlahovic and Sancho. Man United is willing to break up with the British player, who has undergone two loan with Dortmund and Chelsea in the last two campaigns, while Juventus wants to sell Vlahovic unless he signed a new contract. However, the first thing is that Sancho has to accept salary reduction to facilitate the transfer of Turin.
The Serie A team had previously expressed interest in Sancho in the transfer period in 2023 and 2024 but could not agree on an agreement with both MU's host team as well as the individual player. Sancho's representative continues to keep in touch with the Allianz and Sancho teams still want to move to Juventus to hope to revive his career.
Both Sancho and Vlahovic have contracts until 2026, but their long -term future at the club management clubs is still not sure. Juventus does not want to meet the requirements of Vlahovic's salary to extend the contract and be ready to transfer him this summer to avoid devaluation. Man United is also seeking to sell Sancho in the context of the Revolution of the squad during the Ruben Amorim dynasty.
A direct exchange agreement can help both financial balance clubs, while avoiding the obsession with the expiry of the contract by 2026. Sancho is currently receiving £ 250,000/week at MU, while Vlahovic receives about 200,000 pounds/week. If you agree to perform an exchange deal, both Sancho and Vlahovic must accept to reduce the current remuneration.
The negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks. Juventus will try to convince Sancho to lower the required salary, while Man United needs to evaluate Vlahovic's goodwill. The player's approval may be the decisive factor in the final agreement, especially when Vlahovic rejected the offer from Türkiye and Saudi Arabia before. However, rumors that he could reunite his former teacher Max Allegri at AC Milan.
In 42 matches for Chelsea in the 2024/25 season, Sancho scored 5 goals and 10 assists, even raising the Conference League championship with the London team – those who later accepted to pay a fine of 5 million pounds to refuse to carry out the purchase deal in the terms. In contrast, Vlahovic had 43 appearances for Juventus and scored 16 goals, and 5 assists.
