Jadon Sancho 'close to agreeing personal terms' with European giants as Man Utd exit looms

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has received a contract proposal from one of Europe’s top clubs and is ‘close to reaching an agreement on personal terms’, according to a new report.

The 24-year-old, who joined United in the summer of 2021 for £73 million, was banished from first-team training in September after he responded to Erik ten Hag’s statement about his below-par performances in training.

He eventually joined former club Borussia Dortmund on a six-month loan and reached the Champions League final with the Bundesliga side before returning to Carrington this summer for pre-season.

In fact, Sancho featured in a pre-season clash against Rangers on Saturday afternoon as goals from Amad Diallo and Joe Hugill sealed a 2-0 victory at Murrayfield.

After holding a meeting with Erik ten Hag on his return to Manchester, Sancho has been backed to “click” at Old Trafford by his boss.

“We spoke well,” Ten Hag told Dutch outlet AD Sportwereld ahead of kick-off on Saturday. “Everyone can make a mistake. If the player reflects on this well, you draw a line and move on.

“This club needs good players, and one thing is certain: Jadon Sancho is a very good player. I hope that we will still click and that he will contribute to our success.”

But days after Ten Hag’s comments, it appears Sancho is close to agreeing personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain after the player received a contract proposal from the Ligue 1 giants.

In fact, Sancho is ‘extremely excited’ by the project presented by PSG, according to Foot Mercato, who claim the French side are looking at options to replace Kylian Mbappe.

The report suggests that it ‘remains to be seen’ whether United will let the England international leave and at what price, but it seems the former Dortmund winger is keen on making it happen.

Earlier this month, the BBC claimed that United are open to selling Sancho this summer and want £40 million for the winger.

A number of clubs have expressed an interest in Sancho this summer, including Barcelona, Juventus and Dortmund, who want Sancho to return next season but are seeking another loan deal.

United, meanwhile, are keen on a straight sale, knowing transfer funds will be limited because of Financial Fair Play restrictions.
