Barcelona is reportedly considering the option of bringing in Jadon Sancho on loan, offering the sidelined winger an opportunity to exit Manchester United. Erik ten Hag has firmly stated that Sancho will not feature for the Red Devils unless he publicly apologizes for criticizing the manager. Manchester United is eager to offload him in the January transfer window and is even willing to subsidize a portion of his wages to facilitate his departure.
Sport reports that Barcelona has been informed of Sancho’s situation by the player’s representatives. However, the Blaugrana are not planning a move unless they manage to sell a player in January.
In the broader context, Juventus has shown interest in acquiring Sancho on loan, with no plans for a permanent move, making Sancho available again in June. Barcelona might seize the opportunity to sign him at a reduced price. Nevertheless, Sancho would need to accept a substantial wage cut to join Camp Nou, as the Catalan club cannot afford his current salary given their financial constraints.
Looking ahead, Xavi would welcome a player of Sancho’s caliber in his squad. However, Barcelona’s financial challenges, particularly related to FFP, could pose a hurdle to the potential deal.
