Man Utd man ramps up efforts to leave by flying to hold ‘discreet but meaningful’ talks with three Euro giants over break

Jadon Sancho is already putting plans in place for his Manchester United departure by holding talks with three potential suitors.

The 25-year-old, currently spending the season on loan with Aston Villa, is now in the final seven months of his United deal. As such, he will be free to sign a pre-contract with his next club from January.

Reports had suggested over the summer that, despite him having no future at Old Trafford anymore, the club would look to activate Sancho’s 12-month option to protect his resale value and try to make at least something from his exit.

However, another lacklustre start to the term has left the board ready to just wash their hands of the situation, and they are now resigned to taking a major financial loss by releasing the £73 million signing come June 2026.

As witnessed over the summer, there aren’t many sides willing to take a punt on the forward, but the fact he’ll be available for nothing this time around may prompt more clubs to hold talks and see where his head’s at.

That’s seemingly already happening, according to a new report from CaughtOffside.

They claim that Sancho flew to Turkey over the international break – amid his continued, four-year absence from the England setup – to hold ‘discreet but meaningful’ meetings with Besiktas, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.

Sancho had been tipped for a switch to the Super Lig in the summer before he opted to test his resolve in the Premier League once again. Yet, three months into the campaign, he’s still awaiting his first league start under Unai Emery.

Remarkably, the outlet adds that both Villa, United and the player’s entourage could opt to cut his loan spell short to allow him to move to Turkey as early as January. That way, the Red Devils can at least set a cut-price transfer fee before bidding farewell to the outcast attacker.
