SHOCKING NEWS: coming from a reliable source. Confirmed, Man Utd uses Sancho to sign Brazil international. Manchester United have agreed to sign Barcelona star during the January transfer window with Jadon Sancho used as a trading chip. Previous reports indicated that Man Utd were willing to trade Marcus Rashford to land the Brazil international, but according to Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils have changed tactics and will now give the Blaugrana the opportunity to land Sancho.
Using Jadon Sancho as a trade chip, Manchester United is prepared to make another push to sign Barcelona winger Raphinha during the January transfer window.
Sport claims that Man Utd have changed their strategy and will now give the Blaugrana the chance to sign Sancho. Previous reports suggested that Man Utd were willing to trade Marcus Rashford in order to acquire the Brazil international.
According to reports, Manchester United have given up on the idea that any team will match their €85 million asking price for Sancho, whose transfer value has plummeted after he was cut out of the first team picture in August after a spectacular fallout with manager Erik ten Hag.
The winger has been allowed to train independently, but there aren’t many options for the Old Trafford club to sell him in January, even though they want to.
While a return to Borussia Dortmund is unlikely due to his exorbitant wages, Juventus feels that he is just too expensive. It has been reported that Sancho has no interest in joining the Saudi Pro League.
Barcelona, then, presents an intriguing option given the possibility of a trade given that both are valued by their respective clubs at about the same amount.
Desiring a Raphinha spark, Man Utd
When Raphinha was at Leeds, Man Utd showed some interest in him. However, he eventually moved to Camp Nou, where he had a difficult first season and an injury-plagued second campaign.
At the very least, the 26-year-old would provide Man Utd with some respite from the drama that Sancho has created for himself over the past three months after making an impression in the Premier League.
Ten Hag is, in fact, desperate to breathe life into an attack that has struggled this season. This was only brought to light after Man Utd suffered an embarrassing 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth over the weekend. Rasmus Hojlund and Antony didn’t pose much of a threat right away, and Rashford was only brought on as a substitute.
Therefore, a Raphinha for Sancho trade might be something that works for everyone. However, even in situations where everything seems to be in balance, these swap agreements are infamously difficult to set up.
