Manchester United have received their first official bid for winger Jadon Sancho as the countdown to the 2025/2026 club football season intensifies.
Serie A giants AS Roma have formally submitted an opening offer worth around £20 million to secure Sancho on a permanent transfer. According to sources, the Italian outfit are also open to negotiating a loan deal that includes an option to buy, giving both clubs flexibility in the talks.
Discussions between the two sides are already underway, with the final decision set to rest in the hands of United’s hierarchy and the player’s representatives. New United boss Ruben Amorim — who took over following Erik ten Hag’s departure — is expected to have significant influence on whether Sancho stays at Old Trafford or is allowed to leave.
Sancho, who joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 in a highly anticipated move, has endured an inconsistent stint in Manchester. His performances have fluctuated, and limited game time in recent seasons has sparked speculation that a change of scenery could help him rediscover his best form.
AS Roma, spearheaded by sporting director Tiago Pinto and newly appointed manager Gian Piero Gasperini, see Sancho as a key target in their push to strengthen their attacking options. The Giallorossi believe the England international’s flair, dribbling ability, and creativity could be a game-changer in both domestic and European competitions.
Roma’s transfer activity doesn’t stop there — the club is also in contact with Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey as they explore the possibility of multiple high-profile attacking signings before the summer window closes.
The coming days are expected to be decisive, as negotiations progress and the football world waits to see whether Sancho will swap the Premier League for a fresh challenge in the Italian capital.
