Juventus have taken a significant step toward securing the services of Jadon Sancho, upping their offer to £15 million (approximately €17.3 million), according to a report from Football Italia.

The new bid brings the Italian giants closer to Manchester United’s asking price of around €25 million — a figure widely seen as unrealistic given Sancho is entering the final year of his contract and commands one of the highest salaries at the club.

Sources indicate that Sancho has already agreed personal terms with Juventus and is holding off on exploring other transfer options, preferring to wait for the deal with the Bianconeri to be finalized.

Contrary to some earlier reports, Sancho spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea. London club reportedly covered part of his wages but chose not to pursue a permanent transfer.

Sancho joined Manchester United in the summer of 2021 from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of €85 million, but has since endured a turbulent spell at Old Trafford.
