Juventus FC have scheduled a medical for Manchester United striker Sancho for Friday morning local time, according to a new report from journalist Mirko Nicolino. The move signals that Juventus are accelerating talks with United over Sancho's transfer and expect to finalize all the details between today and tomorrow.
Sancho, 24, played on loan at Borussia Dortmund in the second half of last season and showed good competitive form there. However, upon his return to United this summer, he did not make United's roster for the first two rounds of the new Premier League season, despite reaching a settlement with manager Jens Ten Hagar. The situation certainly fueled speculation about his future destination, and Juventus were quick to capitalize on the opportunity.
Juventus' interest in Sancho is not empty. As a young and promising striker, Sancho's joining will undoubtedly strengthen Juventus' offense. At the same time, his contract with Manchester United will last until the summer of 2026, which also provides Juventus with some negotiation space.
However, while Juventus are moving forward with Sancho's transfer, they are also considering the situation of other players in the squad, especially midfielder Artur. Artur carries a considerable weight in Juventus' budget, so his future will also have a significant impact on Juventus' transfer strategy.
