Sancho holds transfer talks with three Turkish clubs amid Villa struggles

Jadon Sancho has reportedly held transfer talks with three Turkish clubs amid his latest underwhelming loan spell at Aston Villa.

Having been included in Ruben Amorim’s bomb squad in the summer, Sancho secured a loan move to Aston Villa where he’s currently struggling for game time.

The England internahas failed to secure a place under Unai Emery and is already thought to be contemplating another change of scenery.

According to Caughtoffside, Sancho and his representatives were spotted in Istanbul during the international break, where they held meetings with officials from three Turkish Super Lig giants, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Galatasaray. The meetings took place at a luxury hotel where each club presented their long-term vision and plan to the English winger.

At the moment, it is unclear which club is leading the race to sign the United outcast permanently in the January transfer window, but the report adds that Sancho is prepared to take a major pay cut.

He currently earns £13 million per season under the terms of his United contract, but is willing to slash it down to £7-8m.

Meanwhile, Sport Bild had earlier report that Sancho’s former club Borussia Dortmund are also plotting a move for the winger in the January window and United will be willing to sell if they can agree on a fair price.

Sancho’s career has been on a downward trajectory ever since he clashed with ex-United boss Erik ten Hag and was banished from the first team at the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

In January 2024, he was sent back to his former club Borussia Dortmund on loan, but he returned to Old Trafford that summer.

Last season, he was shipped to Chelsea on loan but failed to revive his form and the Blues decided against signing the winger permanently from United.
