Jadon Sancho has reportedly reached an agreement in principle with one of European football’s biggest clubs as speculation over his Manchester United future continues.
Sancho, 24, has been strongly linked with a move away from United this summer despite returning to the fold under Erik ten Hag.
The winger was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund last season after a very public falling out with his manager.
After Ten Hag called out Sancho over his efforts in training during a press conference, the winger responded by claiming he had been made a ‘scapegoat’ by the United boss – branding his claims ‘completely untrue’.
Sancho was banished to Germany after refusing to apologise to Ten Hag but has since returned to the Red Devils ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
Earlier this month, Ten Hag said the pair had ‘drawn a line’ under their feud without confirming if Sancho had personally apologised to him.
And while he has featured in pre-season, playing against Rangers and Arsenal, Sancho continues to be linked with a permanent move away from the Red Devils.
Several clubs have reportedly expressed an interest in signing the England international, including Dortmund, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and an unnamed Premier League side.
However, it appears that PSG have moved ahead in the race to sign Sancho.
Sports Zone (via Get French Football News) report that the Ligue 1 club have reached an agreement in principle with Sancho over a move to the Parc des Princes.
It is claimed that PSG are keen to sign Sancho as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer earlier this summer.
The outlet adds that United would be willing to sanction his sale in exchange for a €60m (£50.7m) transfer fee.
United paid around €85m (£73m) to sign Sancho from Dortmund in 2021.
Speaking earlier this month, Ten Hag suggested Sancho could still have a future at Old Trafford despite their previous difficulties working together.
“As we said, we draw the line. Manchester United need good players and Jadon is a good player. We have drawn that line and we move on,” said Ten Hag.
Sancho featured in United’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Ten Hag’s side next face Real Betis on Thursday before taking on Liverpool in another warm-up match on Sunday.
They will then face Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 10, with their opening Premier League game against Fulham coming on August 16.
