Paris Saint-Germain is eager to add a winger to their squad and has turned their attention to Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. The Englishman, who has been brought back into favor by Erik ten Hag, has been in talks with the French club for some time now.
PSG didn't receive anything for the free transfer departure of Kylian Mbappé, but it did lead to a significant reduction in their wage bill.
This has provided the reigning champions with some financial flexibility, and they plan to strengthen their attacking lineup. Earlier, L'Équipe reported that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was being considered, and now Foot Mercato's news about Jadon Sancho has been confirmed by the newspaper.
Sancho, currently with Manchester United, has been in discussions with PSG for several days. The English winger seems keen on a move to Paris, which would mark a significant step in his career. Despite the ongoing talks, no agreement has been reached with Manchester United yet, according to the French outlet.
Sancho's career saw a revival last season during a loan period at Borussia Dortmund, where he was temporarily transferred from Man Utd after his relationship with manager Erik ten Hag deteriorated. At Dortmund, Sancho regained his form and confidence, culminating in an appearance in the Champions League final with the German club.
Though Sancho has been brought back into favor at Manchester United, a departure is still on the table. This is especially relevant as Manchester United is already in discussions with PSG regarding another player: Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan midfielder is expected to move to Old Trafford and could be included in a potential deal involving Sancho.
Additionally, Sancho has been linked to Juventus, although the Italian club has less financial power compared to PSG. Juventus's interest highlights Sancho's desirability in the transfer market, but PSG's financial flexibility gives them a significant advantage in securing his services.
The potential arrival of Sancho at PSG would be a strategic move to bolster their attacking options, especially after the departure of Mbappé. Sancho's skill set, proven performance in top European competitions, and his recent resurgence make him an attractive option for the Parisian club as they aim to maintain their dominance in domestic competitions and make a strong impact in the Champions League.
