The reasons why Jadon Sancho rejected a loan-to-buy move to Roma have been revealed, with the Manchester United outcast still in transfer limbo. United, desperate to offload him this summer, seemed open to Roma’s proposal, as it had an obligation to purchase the player outright in 2026, but the England international was not convinced.
Roma had expressed interest in signing the 25-year-old, with the £20 million transfer fee and terms looking favourable for United. However, Sancho’s decision to reject the proposal reportedly stems from a mix of "financial and technical factors".
Reports in Corriere dello Sport further claim that the hefty demands of Sancho’s agent are also a stumbling block, with a supposed request for a €10m commission already spooking potential suitors. Those demands have turned off some of Europe’s top clubs, including Atletico Madrid and Juventus, who have reportedly backed away from negotiations.
