Manchester United: Manchester United cannot recall Sancho in January, the player’s agent is in contact with the top three of the Turkish Super League

On November 19, the "Manchester Evening News" wrote an article analyzing Sancho's future. The article stated that Manchester United was unable to recall Sancho in January and his agent was in contact with three Turkish Super League teams.

Sancho signed a five-year contract when he moved from Dortmund to Manchester United in 2021, which means that the contract will expire next summer. According to Romano reports, Sancho will leave Manchester United as a free agent. Considering that he has been loaned to other teams, he has only played at Manchester United for more than two seasons, during which he played 83 times and contributed 12 goals and 6 assists.

Manchester United will be relieved that they are rid of Sancho's high salary burden, but they will undoubtedly regret the possibility of losing the player who spent 73 million pounds to introduce for free. One potential destination for Sancho is his old club Dortmund, who may try to re-sign him. He helped Dortmund reach the 2024 Champions League final, but his performance was mediocre during his loan to Chelsea last season.

This season, Sancho is on loan at Villa. Emery obviously values ​​him very much, but it is still unclear whether he plans to sign the winger permanently. Villa bears 80% of Sancho's salary. Although there is no mandatory buyout clause in the loan agreement with Manchester United, Villa is likely to become the main competitor if it is decided to sign Sancho after the end of the season.

Reports in September claimed that Villa were already considering signing Sancho permanently. However, Sancho has had limited playing time since joining in the summer, which appears to contradict previous reports. Nonetheless, Emery has no doubts about Sancho's ability. Sancho will remain on loan at Villa for the remainder of the season and there is no release clause in the loan contract, meaning Manchester United cannot recall him in January.

Sancho's contract will expire next summer, and he is likely to leave Manchester United by then, but he may still complete the signing in the winter window. According to CaughtOffside, Sancho's agent held "cautious but meaningful talks" with representatives of Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas during the November international break. The report also pointed out that these talks were held in a high-end hotel, and the three Turkish clubs elaborated on their respective plans for Sancho. Another source said that Sancho was willing to accept a salary cut. His current annual salary is 13 million pounds.
