Major Man Utd transfer being revived with relations now ‘completely broken’

Manchester United are ready to accept the best offer they’ve received for a player whose relationships at Old Trafford are ‘completely broken’, and fresh reports state the deal could be revived despite running aground on Monday.

Man Utd are exploring the market for additions in the goalkeeper and central midfield positions in the final days of the window. To ensure the Red Devils can afford the calibre of player they require, exits are assuming greater significance.

United have struggled to shift most of their unwanted stars throughout the summer. Among those the club are desperate to offload is Jadon Sancho.

Man Utd received a bid from Roma comprising a one-year loan and an obligation to buy worth £20m.

While United would prefer to bank the money right here and now, the club have deemed the offer worthy of accepting and it’s the most lucrative bid they’ve received so far.

However, news broke on Monday of Sancho failing to agree personal terms with Roma. That appeared to end the chances of a move to the Italian capital, though Roma have made fresh attempts to revive the deal.

Gazzetta dello Sport claimed Roma and their manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, are growing increasingly confident of striking a deal on the player side.

That was followed by a report from Corriere dello Sport that stated Roma are willing to meet the winger’s wage demands.

The issue said to be holding up a deal is the commission Sancho’s agent is demanding. It’s claimed the player’s representative wants €10m to facilitate a deal.

Whether Roma and/or Sancho can convince the agent to waive or simply lower that request remains to be seen.

In any case, what is clear is Man Utd would readily accept Roma’s bid and there is no way back for Sancho at Old Trafford under any circumstance…

Sancho, Man Utd relationship “completely broken” – Fabrizio Romano

“For Sancho the message from United remains the same – no chance to return in the squad,” declared Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel.

“Sancho doesn’t even want to return in the squad, so the relationship remains completely broken between Man Utd and Sancho.

“Man Utd’s position on the Roma deal is very clear. Man Utd will take the offer from Roma. £20m, loan with obligation to buy.

“For United’s it’s okay, they would take the money and let the player go. It’s the player who said no on Monday and at the moment Sancho is still not giving any different indication about that.”
