Why Bailey’s move may help Roma sign traumatised Sancho | OneFootball

Roma have not given up on Jadon Sancho and still hope to sign the English winger, who is a close friend of Giallorossi’s newcomer, Leon Bailey.

One question about Sancho. How are Roma still linked with the Manchester United outcast if he had rejected the Manchester United offer? The truth is that, as we already reported, Sancho has put talks on hold and Roma have not yet given up.

Still not over between Sancho and Roma

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have not sounded out any other attacking midfielder as the Giallorossi boss first wants to bring to an end negotiations with Sancho, one way or another.

Sancho is traumatised by Manchester United’s decision to show him the exit door, but there’s a total agreement between Roma and Manchester United and, as far as I know, the Serie A side have also shaken hands over agent fees.

In the meantime, Roma have welcomed Bailey, which could help the Giallorossi in the Sancho deal as the two players are close friends and spent holidays together this summer.
