Juventus 'ask for information on Man United's Jadon Sancho'

Juventus contact Jadon Sancho's representatives to discuss a possible move for the Manchester United attacker in January, according to a report.

Juventus have reportedly been in touch with Jadon Sancho's representatives to discuss a possible move for the Manchester United attacker during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old has not featured for the Red Devils since the end of August due to a breakdown in his relationship with head coach Erik ten Hag.

The Man United boss said that he left Sancho out against Arsenal at the start of September due to some poor performances in training, but the forward insisted that was not the case in a post on social media, effectively calling the Dutchman a liar.

Sancho has been removed from the first-team picture entirely, with the ex-Manchester City youngster not training with the senior side at Carrington, nor being considered for selection.

An apology was thought to be all that was required for the forward to be brought back into the first team.

However, it is widely thought that the relationship between Ten Hag and Sancho is now beyond repair, with an apology at this stage likely to mean little due to the length of time that has passed.

The attacker is, at this stage, thought to be against leaving Man United on a permanent basis, with a loan exit in January instead expected to be the outcome to the uncomfortable situation.

Barcelona have been linked with Sancho, while Borussia Dortmund are also believed to be exploring the possibility of re-signing him on loan for the second half of the campaign.

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, there is also big interest from Juventus, with the Italian giants currently planning their business for the winter window.

Galetti claims that the Old Lady have 'asked for information' on Sancho, with the club keen to bring him to Turin when the January market opens.

A recent report claimed that clubs from Turkey were also keeping a close eye on his situation with a view to potentially making a move in 2024.

Sancho was one of the most in-demand forwards in European football during his time at Dortmund, but he has struggled at Man United, only managing 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances in all competitions.

A strong pre-season led to claims that the Englishman would start the 2023-24 campaign in the team, but he was a substitute for Man United's first three matches of the season.

Sancho was again absent against Sheffield United on Saturday evening and will also miss Tuesday's Champions League clash with Copenhagen at Old Trafford.
