Man Utd considers £26m sale of Sancho and van de Beek to Juventus
Juventus has expressed keen interest in acquiring Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek, prompting speculation that Manchester United may consider selling the duo in January. In a surprising twist, it has been reported that Sancho’s absence from the field since September, due to a fallout with Erik ten Hag, and Van de Beek’s lackluster performance in the Premier League, with just one appearance, have contributed to this possibility. ESPN suggests that Juventus is making preparations to make a dual move for the players in the upcoming month. According to Corriere Dello Sport, Juventus is interested in loaning Van de Beek with a potential purchase option, while also showing interest in Sancho. It is believed that Manchester United would consider a suitable offer from Juventus, with reports indicating that a bid of approximately £26 million could convince Ten Hag to sell.
In another transfer news, Manchester United is reportedly getting ready to make a move for Jean-Clair Todibo, the defender from Nice, during the upcoming January transfer window. United are looking at Todibo as a solution to their defensive issues, which have been evident in the UEFA Champions League where they have let in 14 goals in only five group games. The Metro states that Sky Germany has reported Todibo being of interest to United for a January transfer. The French player, who currently leads Nice, declined a move to Old Trafford in the previous summer as he sought assurances regarding his playing time. Although Tottenham has also been mentioned in connection with a January transfer for Todibo, United is expected to rival them in securing his signature. According to reports, Nice is said to be seeking approximately £45 million for the French player.
Bayern Munich is actively searching for alternatives to replace Neuer in the long run.
The Bundesliga champions have already begun preparations for the future and have been closely monitoring three potential long-term successors for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Despite Neuer recently extending his contract for one year, club officials are forward-thinking and have identified three potential candidates, as reported by The Sun.
AC Milan’s Mike Maignan, Swiss international Gregor Kobel, and Alexander Nubel, who is currently on loan at Stuttgart from Bayern, are all being evaluated as possible options. Nubel’s recent displays have been remarkable, however, Florian Plettenberg, a reporter for Sky Sports Germany, contends that Kobel is the perfect option to succeed Neuer. Bayern Munich will need to promptly make a choice regarding their goalkeeper predicament as they strategize for what lies ahead.
