Some loves never end, they go round in circles and then come back. The song by Antonello Venditti that Adriano Galliani, a football and big signing expert, likes so much, seems perfect for Jadon Sancho, Manchester United striker who has worn the Borussia Dortmund shirt for the last 6 months. On loan and with part of his salary paid by Manchester United, his club, the same conditions that Giuntoli had obtained in January from the English club, but the operation was stopped by Allegri, who did not consider the player functional to his module, the 3-5-2. Now the English winger is back in fashion, because with Thiago Motta they will move to a new playing system (4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3) and wingers are very much needed. For this reason the Juventus technical director has returned to the charge, once again obtaining Sancho’s yes, just as had happened in the winter.
loan idea
—
The difficult thing will be to negotiate with United, who value him at around 40-50 million. A figure that Juventus considers too high, which is why they are aiming to secure a loan. It would be a great move, because the 24-year-old Englishman has shown off his skills with the Germans, reaching the Champions League final, and is considered by Thiago Motta to be functional to his idea of football. Considered one of the greatest talents of his generation, Sancho moves mainly on the right lane, is fast and good at both dribbling and counterattacking. It will take time and patience, because the deal is unlikely to be concluded in a short space of time. The winger, who returned to his base after a positive experience in Germany, is certainly not part of United’s plans, who have already put him on the market, trying to offer him both in the Bundesliga and in the Premier League. Neither Borussia Dortmund (who would like him back but not under those conditions) nor the other clubs approached (from Manchester City to Arsenal to Chelsea) have shown interest in opening a table starting from such a high figure. A stalemate that could favor Juventus, because the more time passes the more United will have to lower their demands, perhaps even opening up to a loan.
the exchange with the church

The other limit is his salary: Sancho earns 8.5 million euros net per season, too much for a Lady who aims to lower the wage bill, so to move to Turin he should lower his demands or Manchester should pay part of his salary. The other way is to try to include Federico Chiesa in the negotiations, setting up an exchange between the Italian and the Englishman. Fede has a contract expiring in 2025 and without a renewal he will end up on the market. Furthermore, Thiago Motta does not consider him a first choice. In the next few days it is likely that Giuntoli and his agent, Fali Ramadani, will have a chat to understand what the player’s intentions are.
the others
—
Mason Greenwood, a United winger who relaunched himself at Getafe last season, and Karim Adeyemi, a Borussia Dortmund winger, remain in the crosshairs. All profiles that the new manager likes but with a high valuation (40 million). Also being investigated is Xavi Simons, who could leave PSG on loan again after his last season at Leipzig: however, the player is not among Thiago Motta’s priorities.
