Manchester United star Jadon Sancho has reportedly emerged as a top target for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr in the summer transfer window.
Sancho, 25, will return to the Red Devils after Chelsea decided to pay £5 million as a penalty for failing to activate the star’s £25 million obligation to buy clause. He was sent back after the Blues did not match the star’s reported £300,000-a-week wages.
Now, according to Mirror, Sancho‘s Manchester United future is up in the air as Ruben Amorim has no plans to reintegrate the ace. Moreover, the ex-Manchester City youth star has limited options with no top European club keen to pay the player’s current wages.
However, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ittihad have all expressed an interest in luring Sancho away from the Red Devils. They are all believed to be in a position to splash a transfer fee of £25 million, a figure the Old Trafford outfit were supposed to receive from Chelsea.
The Manchester United forward started 26 of his 41 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea last season. He registered five goals and 10 assists for the Blues, lifting the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League trophy.
So far, Sancho has made 83 total appearances for Manchester United.
With his contract set to run out on June 30, 2025, Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly quite close to leaving his Saudi Pro League club.
Last month, Al-Nassr sporting director Fernando Hierro said (h/t ESPN):
Sharing more thoughts on the striker’s stint at Al-Nassr, Hierro added:
Ronaldo, 40, found the back of the opposition net 35 times and provided four assists in 41 matches across all competitions for Al-Nassr last term.
