Many journalists have claimed that Jadon Sancho will be the last Juventus purchase in the current mercato. However, the Bianconeri will not reach for the Englishman for several reasons.

The end of the mercato was impressive for Cristiano Giuntoli. Thiago Motta’s team was strengthened by Nico Gonzalez from Fiorentina, Francisco Conceicao from Porto and above all Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. It seemed that the icing on the cake would be the aforementioned Sancho, as the media reported yesterday.
Today, however, Romeo Agresti, Gianluca Di Marzio and other Italian journalists reported that the Bianconeri had withdrawn definitively from the fight for the Englishman’s signature. The Turin club’s helmsmen came to the conclusion that the total costs of the entire operation would be too high for them. Manchester United expected the Old Lady to cover more than half of the Englishman’s high salary. However, the Bianconeri were thinking of paying at most 40% of the winger’s salary.
The situation was also influenced by Samuel Mbangula’s good performances in the first two games of the season. Thiago Motta has five players at his disposal to fill the two wing positions, which means that Sancho will be redundant. In addition, the potential transfer of the Englishman was blocked by Arthur Melo and Filip Kostić, who are still at the club.
