Fabrice Hawkins reports that PSG, the current Ligue 1 champions, have started discussions regarding a potential transfer of Jadon Sancho, who appears eager to join the Parisian club. However, the deal is expected to be complex, with Manchester United demanding over €60 million (£51m/$66m) for the winger.
The negotiations are said to involve the structure of the deal, but no agreement is anticipated this week due to the intricacies involved. Additionally, the talks include discussions about midfielder Manuel Ugarte, a key target for United as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
United have already made significant investments this summer, bringing in players like Lenny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee, and Noussair Mazraoui. To fund further reinforcements, they may need to sell players, with Sancho being a potential candidate. Ugarte remains a priority for manager Erik ten Hag, and selling Sancho could provide the financial flexibility needed to secure the Uruguayan midfielder, who has already agreed to personal terms with United. Ugarte’s absence from PSG’s training session on Tuesday has further fueled speculation about his transfer.
Sancho’s potential move to PSG comes in the wake of Kylian Mbappe’s departure to Real Madrid on a free transfer. With Mbappe gone, PSG coach Luis Enrique urgently needs a high-quality winger to replace the former captain.
