Jadon Sancho ‘close to agreeing shock PSG transfer’ just days after returning to Man Utd fold


JADON SANCHO is close to agreeing personal terms for a move away from Manchester United, reports say.

The forward had a public fallout with United manager Erik ten Hag last September which resulted in his exile from the squad.

But Sancho revived his career with a loan back to Borussia Dortmund – three years after his £73million transfer to Old Trafford.

The winger made 21 appearances and grabbed three goals on his way to re-finding form.

Still, Dortmund were unable to make a permanent move for Sancho – paving his return to United.

And the England international did make his way back to training and appeared in the fold for the upcoming season.

Sancho even played his first game for United since August as he lined up in a friendly against Rangers.

Ten Hag’s side won 2-0 with Amad Diallo and Joe Hugill scoring and £50m man Leny Yoro playing in defence.

But in another twist, according to Foot Mercato and Lequipe, Sancho and PSG are close to an agreement on personal terms.

The French champions are looking to replace Kylian Mbappe this summer after the superstar’s move to Real Madrid.

PSG’s sporting director Luis Campos is said to have been impressed by Sancho’s performances in Germany and against his club in the Champions League semi-final.

And he is now a top priority after a deal for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen hit the rocks.

United are believed to have already been in talks with PSG over the signing of defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte.

And the Ligue 1 champions are also understood to also be interested in Red Devils captain Bruno Fernandes.

United had placed a £40million price tag on Sancho – almost half what they paid Dortmund in 2021.

But, Ten Hag spoke out about welcoming the player back into the squad after they held talks to squash their past disputes.

He commented: “As we said, we’ve drawn the line.

“Manchester United needs good players and Jadon is a good player. We have drawn that line and we move on.”

Sancho was made to train on his own last year after publicly lashing out at Ten Hag last season following defeat to Arsenal.

Ten Hag claimed Sancho was dropped as a result of poor training performances – but the player argued he was being made a “scapegoat”.

Refusal to apologise to the manager then resulted in his expulsion from the side until he was loaned out to Dortmund.
