Jadon Sancho is going through one of the worst phases in his career. His hope of having a flourishing career and acquiring a legendary status has been crushed poorly. The situation is so poor that the young English winger rarely makes it to the United squad. The unfavorable situation has made Sancho look for an exit from the English club.
The possibility of signing Jadon Sancho had attracted a lot of European clubs. The English winger was however linked heavily in particular with Italian club Juventus. The speculation was that United would sell Jadon Sancho in the January transfer window.

But, that speculation has since died down. Italian Newspaper Tuttosport has reported that the Italian giants won’t be going after the Englishman, as he is considered very expensive.
The Italian newspaper has also reported that Juventus have different priorities for strengthening the team. The Italian record champions are looking for exciting talents that come at a reasonable price.
One of the names that is being mentioned is Domenico Berardi of Sassuolo. The Italian winger has been linked with the Old Lady for several years now. Berardi has been a consistent performer for Sassuolo.
The 29-year-old has a G/A of at least 20 in each of the last 4 seasons in the Serie A, barring the 22/23 season, where he had a G/A of 19. Despite Juventus’ interest, it is highly unlikely that their Italian counterparts would let their main player leave midway through the season.
❗Juventus’s top target for the midfield is Georgiy Sudakov from Shakhtar Donetsk. Positive reports from scouts have prompted Juventus to accelerate the negotiations, with a potential transfer fee of €10-15m.

Another name on the list of Juventus is Shakhtar Donetsk Midfielder Georgiy Sudakov. The Ukrainian has produced great performances for both club and country and the BIanconeri look interested. Juventus, though would have to fight many clubs for the Ukranian’s signature.
Jadon Sancho has fallen out with Erik ten Hag
The fallout that Sancho had with Erik ten Hag has made things even worse for the Englishman. The feud came to light after The Red Devils’ 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Sancho wasn’t picked for the game and that made the ex-Dortmund player furious.
Ten Hag and some of his #mufc staff have not been happy with Jadon Sancho’s level of training. Tensions have been around for the past two to three weeks.
Sancho thinks there is something else and those close to him insist he is doing his best.

Following the loss, the United Manager had made some interesting comments about Sancho. ten Hag wasn’t impressed by Sancho’s efforts in the training sessions. Hence he went for players from the United Academy. In the eyes of the Dutch tactician, Facundo Pellistri and Hannibal Mejbri deserved to be on the teamsheet more than Jadon Sancho.
Jadon Sancho hit back at his manager by saying that ten Hag is making him a ‘scapegoat.’ In a social media post on X, Sancho said, “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people to say things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week.”
Since then ten Hag has refused to pick Sancho for the team until the English winger apologizes to him. Sancho has been banned from training with his teammates and using club facilities. The outcasted United player is training and having meals alone at the club.
This has prompted Sancho to look for possibilities in the transfer market. With Juventus out, the only possibility for Sancho looks like a return to the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund. A short stint in Saudi Arabia could also be a possibility. It would be interesting to see if Sancho could resurrect his career.
