Barcelona offered a chance to recruit Jadon Sancho, excluded from Man Utd

Barcelona offered a chance to recruit Jadon Sancho, excluded from Man Utd

As Manchester United look to offload some players this summer, Jadon Sancho has been linked with a move to La Liga giants Barcelona.

Barcelona have been offered the chance to sign United’s outcast Jadon Sancho, according to Sport, but it is understood their main target is Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.

Liverpool’s Luis Diaz is also of interest to Barcelona.

None of these deals can be done cheaply and Barcelona’s spending will be hampered by financial problems.

Barcelona could consider Sancho as an option to strengthen their attack, with United actively trying to sell the England winger.

The 24-year-old’s public argument with Erik ten Hag in September led to him being dropped from the team.

Sancho joined Borussia Dortmund on loan in January, but the Bundesliga side are yet to make an offer to sign him permanently.

New Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is said to be a fan of Sancho, although the club are unwilling to pay a transfer fee and would only consider a loan deal.

The report claims that United offered Sancho to Barcelona two months ago. They have apparently changed their minds as the first meetings resulted in conditions not achievable by the Blaugrana.

United would be forced to consider a loan deal as Dortmund and Juventus are unwilling to meet United’s €60m demands.
