Sancho is appealing to Juventus and is getting closer, but Chelsea is not backing down and is working to get involved in the operation: Maresca and the English club are coming out in the open and looking for a way to interfere.
Jadon Sancho is a hot target for Juventus, but Chelsea has not abandoned the goal and is trying to get involved in the operation. The attacking winger from Manchester United is said to have an agreement for the transfer to the Bianconeri, but the London club has stepped back in and is still proposing a swap with Raheem Sterling.
Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, spoke at a press conference about the market and the possible arrival of the 2000-born player from Manchester United: “As I said, we shouldn’t sign a player just to sign him, but if we can sign a player who can help us, then I’m on board. Jadon is not our player, but I know him well having spent many years at City. We’ll see what happens. The main thing right now is to focus on the pitch and on improving ourselves. We can’t control the market; we’re very close to the end of the window, and a lot can happen.“
Juventus wants Sancho, but Chelsea won’t back down
Jadon Sancho is still in Chelsea’s sights despite Juventus working hard to bring him to Turin: the Blues want to finalize a loan in exchange for Raheem Sterling, who is out of Enzo Maresca’s plans. According to the English newspaper The Guardian, the 24-year-old has indicated a preference for the London club over Juventus, but this afternoon RMC Sport claimed that the operation with the Bianconeri was closed with a loan that includes an obligation to buy.

According to Fanpage.it, Juventus’s offer for Sancho would be a straightforward loan with most of the salary paid by Manchester United. However, the Red Devils insist on an obligation to buy and a higher salary coverage than the Bianconeri can provide.
It is not certain that Juventus won’t make a new push in the coming hours to finalize the summer strengthening campaign and make yet another gift to Thiago Motta. According to Fanpage.it, there is also a slot for medical visits booked for Friday morning, but it is not guaranteed that it hasn’t been preemptively occupied since it is the last day of the transfer market.
Chelsea, for its part, after trying to include Sterling at all costs, might also consider making a move without a counterpart and satisfy Enzo Maresca with another addition in attack. It is a very ‘hot’ time, but nothing will go beyond tomorrow, one way or another.
