Roma Launch Bid for Out-of-Favor Manchester United Star Jadon Sancho

Serie A Side Makes Move as Clock Ticks on England Winger’s Old Trafford Exit

Roma have thrown Jadon Sancho a potential lifeline, submitting an official offer to sign the exiled Manchester United winger as his Old Trafford nightmare nears its end. The 25-year-old England international remains banished from first-team training with just weeks remaining in the summer transfer window.

Italian Escape Route Emerges

While United officials remain tight-lipped about the bid’s specifics, the approach from the Serie A club confirms genuine interest in the former Borussia Dortmund star. Sancho has been explicitly told to secure a new club before September 1 after falling completely out of favor at Old Trafford.

The move comes as Juventus – who can offer Champions League football unlike Roma – also circle for the talented but troubled winger. Sancho’s situation grew more complicated after Chelsea paid £5m to cancel their obligation to buy him following last season’s loan spell at Stamford Bridge.

Loan Deal Complications Loom

Sources suggest Roma would prefer a loan arrangement with performance-based clauses, but Sancho’s contract expiring in 2025 (with a United option for one additional year) creates financial hurdles. The Red Devils are desperate to offload Sancho’s hefty wages, making a permanent sale their priority – though as deadline day approaches, a temporary move may become their only option.

Sancho currently trains separately alongside Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia – all deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Ruben Amorim. This Roma bid represents the clearest exit path yet for a player who once arrived at Old Trafford as one of world football’s most exciting prospects.

With the clock ticking, United face tough decisions: hold out for a permanent deal or accept a loan that at least removes Sancho’s salary burden. For the player himself, this could be his last chance to revive a career that has stalled dramatically in Manchester.
