Jadon Sancho, facing an uncertain future at Manchester United, has reportedly found a potential escape route as RB Leipzig expresses interest in a January move. The 23-year-old, who struggled to find his footing in the Premier League after an impressive stint at Borussia Dortmund, has been on the sidelines following a fallout with manager Erik ten Hag.
RB Leipzig, currently considering a move for the right winger, might face challenges due to Sancho’s substantial £17 million-a-year salary. While Barcelona and Juventus are monitoring the situation, meeting Sancho’s wage demands appears unlikely unless he agrees to a significant pay cut.
Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, explored interest from Saudi Pro League clubs for high-profile players, including Sancho, during a recent trip to Saudi Arabia. However, no deals were finalized. Sancho’s last competitive appearance for United was in August, and despite ten Hag expressing readiness to welcome him back with an apology, the club is reportedly prioritizing offloading the player in the upcoming winter transfer window.
As Sancho seeks a fresh start, the Bundesliga offers a potential lifeline, but financial considerations may play a crucial role in determining the feasibility of the move.
