Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is the subject of an enquiry from Roma.
As first reported in Daily Mail’s Transfer Confidential column on Tuesday, the Italians are the latest to discuss a potential loan and option to buy for the England international but United only want a permanent sale for the 25-year-old.
Sancho has been frozen out at United and isn’t part of Ruben Amorim’s plans at Old Trafford.
Roma have made an attempt to sign the winger on a season-long loan as they look to secure a deal before the closure of the transfer window.
Given Sancho’s wages of £250,000-a-week, United would prefer a sale for a fee of between £20million and £25million.
Juventus and his former club Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with Sancho this summer.
Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea, with whom he won the Conference League. Sancho previously had a loan spell back at Dortmund.
Sancho signed for United from Dortmund in 2021 for £73million. He has one year remaining on his contract although United have the option to extend it by a further year.
During his time at United Sancho has made 83 appearances, while he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists.
United are also looking for Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia to leave the club this summer.
Meanwhile, Roma are also interested in a loan move for Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey.
The winger has been at Villa since 2021 and has scored 22 goals in 144 games.
Bailey has two years left on his contract at Villa but could be allowed to depart.
