Man Utd set to be offered £60m striker target in huge Jadon Sancho swap deal

Manchester United are aiming to offload a number of high-earning players who have been deemed surplus to requirements this summer including Jadon Sancho, who has suitors in Italy

Juventus are said to be willing to offer Dusan Vlahovic to Manchester United as part of an audacious swap deal to bring Jadon Sancho to Turin this summer.

The Italian giants are one of a number of clubs pursuing a summer deal for Sancho, who is surplus to requirements at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old is expected to depart permanently before the start of the new season after a switch to Chelsea failed to materialise following a loan stint at Stamford Bridge.

Napoli have also been credited with an interest in Sancho’s services but Juve are pushing to beat the Italian champions to a deal.

And a new report from Gazzetta dello Sport claims that they are willing to offer players to United in a bid to get a deal for Sancho over the line.

Vlahovic, 25, is touted as a potential makeweight in a deal between the two clubs; the Serbia striker has been linked with a move to United and is understood to be surplus to requirements at Juve.

It remains to be seen, though, whether Vlahovic would entertain a move to the Premier League. He is said to have been ‘unreceptive’ to previous offers to leave the club and snubbed proposals from Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Vlahovic is no stranger to Premier League links: he was heavily courted by Arsenal before signing for Juve in a £60million deal back in 2021 and has also been the subject of interest from Chelsea in the past.

With United in the market for a new striker and Vlahovic now inside the final 12 months of his contract, a deal which would involve he and Sancho swap clubs could suit all parties.

The report adds that Douglas Luiz, the former Aston Villa midfielder, is another player that Juventus could offer United if a swap involving Vlahovic is not viable.

Luiz, 27, was heavily linked with United back in January and could also appeal in a swap deal given his extensive Premier League experience.

The midfielder is another star who has been targeted by Arsenal in the past, as well as his former club, Manchester City.

United have already completed a deal to sign Matheus Cunha since the summer transfer window opened and they remain in talks with Brentford over Bryan Mbeumo.
