Napoli and Juventus battle for Jadon Sancho’s signature from Manchester United

Jadon Sancho faces a difficult situation at Manchester United after Chelsea decided not to exercise their permanent purchase option worth 30 million euros.

The London club opted to pay an 8 million euro penalty instead — a decision that forces the 25-year-old to return to Old Trafford at the end of June 2025.

Sancho’s situation is further complicated as United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, has not included him in the team’s plans for the 2025-2026 season — a condition that forces the winger to seek a new club.

Two Serie A clubs — Napoli and Juventus — have now emerged as the main candidates to secure the former Borussia Dortmund player’s services in this summer’s transfer window.
