United’s Jadon Sancho Transfer Circus…
Holy guacamole and footballs of fire! Napoli has taken one look at Jadon Sancho’s salary wishlist and said, “No grazie, not in a blue moon!” Much like a cat avoiding a bath, Napoli is steering clear of splashing their cash unless Sancho lowers his golden price tag. Last year, the plucky winger was parked at Chelsea, but the Blues hit the reverse button faster than a squirrel on an electric skateboard.
Yep, despite a solid sum of £25 million on the receipt, Chelsea paid a £5 million no-thanks fee to send Sancho packing back to Manchester. Now he’s a piece of hot potato tossed around the clubs of Europe. Napoli, run by Antonio Conte, came waving an Italian flag, but their sporting director Giovanni Manna says the cash won’t rain unless Sancho downsizes his dreams.
Back at United, they’d love to get the same £25 million moolah for this rollercoaster ride called Sancho without the nausea of low bids. Meanwhile, his trusty representative is sniffing around Germany’s leagues, but a Bundesliga homecoming seems about as likely as cows skydiving.
