Sky-high weekly salary becomes a roadblock! Sancho encounters the biggest obstacle when he escapes Manchester United

Although many continental giants are interested, Jaden Sancho's high salary requirements are becoming the biggest stumbling block for him to bid farewell to Old Trafford completely. The England winger is seeking a permanent transfer, but the road ahead is full of thorns. His experience of playing for Chelsea on loan last season did not bring a turn for the better, and Sancho is still working to leave Manchester United this summer. However, according to reliable reports, its weekly salary of up to £250,000 has scared away many potential suitors and has become the number one problem in transfers.

25-year-old Sancho's career at Manchester United is almost over, but finding a new boss for him is not easy. After the loan period ended, Chelsea had explicitly waived the exercise of the permanent buyout right, and even paid a penalty of 5 million pounds for it. The complexity of this transaction is evident. Although recently, Juventus, Naples and Türkiye's Fenerbahce are rumored to be interested in Sancho, well-known transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano pointed out that substantial progress is still far away. He revealed that the salary problem is the crux of the problem and the key reason why Chelsea and Fenerbahcea, who had withdrawn the latest, are deterred.

"At present, no club is willing to bear Sancho's full salary," Romano said bluntly. "Salary is the core issue, and the same is true for Chelsea. They eventually gave up on negotiations precisely because they were unwilling to break the team's existing salary structure." Romano further added: "The Italian interest does exist, Juventus has had contact, and Napoli also asked about the situation two weeks ago. But about Fenerbahce, it seems that it is not a realistic choice at the moment."

For players like Sancho, who have been in a state ups and downs in recent years, there are very few clubs that can match the maximum salary of his Manchester United period. The reality forces Sancho to significantly lower his salary requirements before he can complete the transfer this summer. At the same time, his estimated transfer fees have also shrunk significantly, currently only about £25 million. This number is only one-quarter of the transfer fee Manchester United spent four years ago. The double gap between high salary and value constitutes the core of Sancho's transfer dilemma.
