Ball Push Net, June 18th In the fierce competition in the transfer market this summer, Serie A powerhouse Naples has set his sights firmly on Manchester United winger Jaden Sancho, and has made every effort to promote this heavy trade, hoping to increase the team's offensive firepower.

According to Italian Sky Sports famous reporter Di Mazio, after successfully finalizing De Bruyne's transfer, Naples quickly focused the signings on the front line, and Sancho became their main target. Although Manchester United's asking price for Sancho is as high as 25 million (the unit is not clear, and it is speculated that it is likely to be the euro), and the player's contract will expire in 2026, this high price undoubtedly adds many obstacles to Naples's purchasing journey, the Naples management has not retreated and continues to make efforts to promote the progress of the transaction.

Looking back at Sancho's career, the English winger became famous at a young age. He joined Manchester United from Dortmund in 2021 with a high transfer fee of £73 million. At that time, he showed amazing talent in the Bundesliga, with superb dribbling skills and outstanding breakthrough ability, and an amazing dribbling success rate of 72%. However, after coming to the more competitive Premier League, Sancho failed to continue his highlight performance. 41% of his decision-making mistakes made his performance at Manchester United criticized and gradually lost his main position. Last season, Sancho was loaned to Chelsea, making 41 appearances in various competitions, contributing 5 goals and 9 assists. Although the data is acceptable, Chelsea eventually paid only £5 million in liquidated damages and gave up the mandatory buyout clause of £25 million, which also indirectly reflects that its performance did not meet Chelsea's expectations.

At present, Sancho's high salary has also become a major obstacle to transfers. According to Sky Sports, Sancho has a considerable weekly salary at Manchester United, which has discouraged many clubs that are interested in him. Even if Naples intends to introduce it, they need to carefully consider the salary matching issue. For Manchester United, given the current situation of Sancho in the team, we look forward to receiving a suitable offer this summer to achieve permanent transfer and leave the team, so as to recover funds and optimize the team's lineup. However, considering its salary factor, the possibility of renting Sancho out again cannot be completely ruled out.

In addition to Naples, according to Goal Brazilian reporter Valentin Furlan, AC Milan and Aston Villa have also recently contacted Sancho's team, and Manchester United is also eager to sell Sancho to raise funds for the team's reconstruction. In this transfer game around Sancho, whether Napoli can break through many obstacles and successfully sign the English winger, the progress of subsequent negotiations has attracted much attention from fans. Once the deal is reached, Sancho's arrival is expected to inject new vitality into Napoli's offensive line and help the team achieve better results in Serie A and Champions League.
