Jadon Sancho has been chosen by Juventus to replace Federico Chiesa. Barça have him on their agenda as an option for the winger, but the 'bianconeri' are pushing for his signing after parting ways with the Italian. Chelsea are also on the list of suitor
The 'extreme operation' of FC Barcelona has been extremely 'hindered' in recent days. Federico Chiesa, one of the main objectives of the Blaugrana entity as the 'low cost' option chosen to reinforce the left side of the forward line, has made the decision not to wait for the culés and will pack his bags for Merseyside, where Liverpool will incorporate him to the ranks of Arne Slot for four seasons.
The transfer of the transalpine striker, in addition, would leave the Catalan institution without another of its alternatives for the left wing. Jadon Sancho, Manchester United attacker, is not in Erik ten Hag's plans at Old Trafford and the offices of the Theatre of Dreams are looking for a way out for him. In this scenario, Juventus has appeared as the great candidate to take over the services of the Englishman, who they see as the ideal replacement for Chiesa.
According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 'Vecchia Signora' want to finalise the arrival of the former Borussia Dortmund player to Turin through a loan that includes a purchase clause. The 'red devils' would not look down on this alternative, as long as the 'bianconera' entity takes charge of the entire salary of the player, a condition that is being negotiated between both parties.
Chelsea also negotiating his signing
For its part, Chelsea has presented itself as another suitor for Sancho. The London team is very interested in the striker and has already held talks with United to find out the conditions of his signing. However, the winger's arrival at Stamford Bridge would only be possible if the Red Devils accept an exchange for Raheem Sterling, for whom the 'blues' are looking for a way out.
At the moment, negotiations between all those involved continue, with Jadon open to joining either of the two teams since his priority is to leave Manchester. Meanwhile, Barça are 'hands tied' as they wait to resolve their financial problems, which is why they are close to seeing another of their targets for the winger head towards a new team.
