Sancho gives Man Utd One Condition to Accept As Roma Move

Jadon Sancho’s protracted departure from Manchester United has hit a new roadblock, with the player reportedly demanding a substantial severance payment from the club to agree to a transfer to AS Roma.

The Italian side has made a concrete offer for the English winger, but his significant salary and contract demands are proving to be a major hurdle.

Sancho, who is currently training away from the first team, has been a key focus for Manchester United as they look to offload a number of high-earning players this summer.

His lucrative contract, reportedly worth around £250,000 per week, has made finding a suitor a difficult task.

While clubs like Juventus and Besiktas have shown interest, a move to Roma has emerged as the most likely option.

Sources indicate that Sancho is unwilling to take a significant pay cut to join Roma and is seeking a financial settlement from Manchester United to compensate for the difference in salary.

Having already rejected a move to Chelsea last season on similar grounds, Sancho appears determined to leave on his own terms. His contract at Old Trafford is set to expire next summer, though United hold an option to extend it by a further year.

The situation places Manchester United in a difficult position. While they are keen to get Sancho’s wages off the books and recoup a portion of the £73 million they paid for him, a severance package would represent another financial hit.

Roma’s bid, a loan with an obligation to buy for a reported £20 million, is already a significant drop from the initial transfer fee.
