Revealed: The Jadon Sancho demands that are holding up Roma move as Serie A club continue to chase Man Utd misfit

Manchester United v Manchester City - 2024 FA Community Shield

Jadon Sancho is yet to agree on personal terms with AS Roma, although Manchester United are prepared to let the winger leave for a £20 million ($27m) transfer fee. Sancho is yet to accept the salary that Roma are offering as it represents a massive pay cut from €15m (£13m/$17.5m) per season, that he is currently earning at Old Trafford.

WHAT HAPPENED?

United have told Sancho that he has no future at the club and if he does indicate a willingness to move to Roma, they will press ahead with a deal. The English winger spent the last season on loan at Chelsea but the Blues paid a penalty fee to send him back to Old Trafford.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Roma are pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy next season for £20m. The Red Devils too are pushing to get the player out of their books, whose current deal expires at the end of the 2025-26 campaign. While the clubs have reached an agreement over a probable move, Sancho has yet to give his green light. Sancho currently earns €15m per season in gross salary, but the Serie A side want the 25-year-old to sign a five-year deal to spread his wages. Sancho will earn €4.5m per season plus bonuses initially and the figure will keep rising as each season progresses, according to Football Italia.
