Manchester United are ready to spend Jadon Sancho money on 6 players if Juventus pay full price in January
According to reports, Manchester United has set a high asking price of £50 million for Jadon Sancho, a wanted winger, during the January transfer window. The 23-year-old was acquired by the Red Devils from Borussia Dortmund for £73 million two years ago, and the English powerhouses are anxious to protect their investment.
Both Steven Gerrard’s Saudi Pro League team Al-Ettifaq and Juventus are reportedly eager to sign him in the new year. If they decide to pay Sancho’s entire fee, United will have plenty of cash on hand for a winter reconstruction. Express Sport examines four potential top-tier additions that they may make with Sancho’s £50 million.
Mehdi Taremi
To lessen the load on Rasmus Hojlund, Man Utd is searching for a new striker in January. They have Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney as primary targets, even though both will cost more than £50 million.
Mehdi Taremi, an Iranian goal machine, is an inexpensive alternative at just £20 million, but he has the clinical finishing that the Red Devils haven’t had enough of this season. The 31-year-old has scored more than 20 goals for Porto in the Portuguese Primeira Liga over the last two seasons, and it is rumoured that United is keeping an eye on him.
Pedro Neto
United will need to add a winger when one departs the team, and Pedro Neto of Wolves is currently one of the best alternatives in the Premier League. Numerous elite European teams, including United, are showing interest in the Portuguese star because of his exceptional play this season.
Wolves want £60 million for him, but the Red Devils might be able to acquire him for the same amount they hope to sell Sancho for if they negotiate well.
Serge Gnabry
Serge Gnabry is another wing option. The German’s contract was only renewed by Bayern Munich last year, but they may be willing to let him leave for the right amount. Gnabry is valued at approximately £50 million by the Bavarian powerhouses, so United would undoubtedly face fierce competition to sign him.
Jean-Clair Todibo
Even if Lisandro Martinez makes a full recovery from his injury before the year ends, United is anticipated to make a move for a centre back in January. Jonny Evans isn’t good enough to be the Red Devils’ first-choice backup, and Harry Maguire’s future is in doubt.
According to reports, United’s scouts are interested in Nice’s inform center-half Jean-Clair Todibo, who could be acquired for about £40 million. The 23-year-old, who has been among the top defenders in Ligue 1 this year, was just called up for the first time to the French national squad in recognition of his excellent play.
