'Man Utd must lower price for Sancho', says transfer intermediary
Transfer intermediary Vincenzo Morabito claimed Napoli will not pay Manchester United's asking price for Jadon Sancho.
Manchester United must lower their price for Jadon Sancho if they want to sell him, according to transfer intermediary Vincenzo Morabito.
Serie A champions Napoli are said to be interested in signing the winger, who spent the last season on loan at Chelsea, helping them win the Conference League and qualify for the Champions League.
United signed Sancho for a reported £73m from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, while Chelsea paid a fee to avoid signing the winger on a permanent deal after his loan spell.
During his time with both clubs, he made 89 appearances in the Premier League (58 of which came for United), scoring 12 goals and registering 10 assists.
He averaged a goal every 453.3 minutes in the league while completing 84.5% of his passes.
Antonio Conte's side benefited from former United midfielder Scott McTominay, as the Scottish player ended the last campaign as the Serie A MVP.
Morabito believes the Red Devils are asking for too much from a player with just one year left on his contract.
"Ruben Amorim has made it very clear he does not want Sancho or Marcus Rashford in pre-season training," Morabito told Radio CRC.
"Manchester United are going to have to lower their expectations for Sancho, because they cannot ask for €25m for a player who has one year left on his contract and earns €18m per season wages.
"This operation is feasible, but we need to see how tough Manchester United can be holding out here, because Sancho is a good player and did pretty well at Chelsea. Cristiano Giuntoli wanted to bring him to Juventus last year, but then it didn’t go through."
