Sancho once again rejects Roma, Manchester United s renewal of contract is ineffective! The reason for delaying the transfer for a month is exposed

According to Italian media reports, Manchester United tried to threaten to activate a one-year renewal clause, urging the rebellious Jaden Sancho to accept the offer from Serie A team Roma because there are no other serious acquirers so far. Sancho has no future in the Red Devils, and the club has not even arranged a jersey number for him. If he stays in the team, he will not play for at least half a year.

Italian famous reporter Alfredo Pedulia said on "Italian Football" that Manchester United told Sancho's agent that he planned to activate his one-year priority renewal clause, which will extend Sancho's contract to 2027, avoiding the ending of him being able to contact or even sign overseas clubs in January next year and leaving for free next summer.

Sancho was rented to Chelsea last season, but because the salary requirements were too high, the Blues paid £5 million in liquidated damages to send him back to Carrington. Ruben Amorin included Sancho, Garnacho, Anthony, Rashford and Terrell Maracia among the "Five Rats" in the locker room. Among these players, Mr. Ra, who is currently only 27, rented it to Barcelona for free.

In the past few months, Sancho has had many rumors about his next home, but the story of Juventus and Dortmund has not continued, and the 25-year-old England winger has fallen into a "no man's land". Roma has shown sincere interest in Sancho in recent weeks, but reports that the Manchester United winger has no intention of joining the team and the negotiations have reached a deadlock.

The Italian "Sports of Rome" insisted that Sancho did not formally reject the Rome club, but admitted that Sancho was hesitant about the transfer and half-dead hope, which instead made the Serie A club even more painful. The club's football director expressed frustration at the lack of progress in the negotiations and accused Sancho of lacking motivation to join the team.

The same is true for Manchester United, with club athletic director Jason Wilcox desperately hoping to eliminate Sancho's huge salary expenses. Sancho's basic weekly salary at Manchester United is £250,000, so the club agreed to a £20 million offer a month ago.

However, the player's engagement with Roma did not achieve ideal results, which is said to be mainly because the agent wants to get a commission of €10 million to €11 million.

This week, Roma has asked Sancho to make a final decision on whether to join by Wednesday, otherwise the club will really consider other goals. Meanwhile, no other club has taken action to sign the Manchester United £73 million gentleman.

Roma coach Gasperini insisted that Sancho did not reject them after the team defeated Bologna over the weekend. "Sancho has never rejected Roma," he said. "There are 8 days left in the summer window. In any case, this is an excellent team, but as I said before, the best and the worst have no end."

Manchester United renewed their contract with a statement, hoping to dispel Sancho's agent's hope of operating his free transfer to earn a commission. In fact, Manchester United and Roma reached a lease-first and then buy-in agreement. If successful, Sancho will need to renew his contract so that he can complete a permanent transfer transaction next summer.

Unfortunately, Sancho still did not submit. It is reported that after the negotiations on Tuesday were rejected again, Roma has given up chasing Sancho and intends to buy people from Liverpool and Chelsea. Transfer expert Di Mazio said at Sky Sports in Italy that Rome director Frederick Masala went to London on Tuesday to meet with Sancho's management team. The negotiations ended in failure. Like the past meetings, Sancho was still not interested in joining.

Roma now hopes to get Chelsea young winger Tirik George and Liverpool left-back Costas Zimikas. Among them, 19-year-old George, who is the same position as Sancho, is willing to transfer to the Red Wolves. The negotiations are much smoother than the negotiations with Sancho. Moreover, the Blues genius who made 26 appearances last season does not want to be loaned, so it is possible to directly reach a permanent agreement.

Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano also confirmed: "Roma and Chelsea were in direct negotiations on George's transfer on Tuesday. The Blues hoped to make a permanent transfer, with a high second transfer share. Roma negotiated with the club and players at the same time. Sancho's position at this stage of the transfer window has not changed."

It is said that Sancho hopes to wait until the last moment of the summer transfer window to see if there are any opportunities that suit him. Sang Bao doesn't plan to choose one of the teams with a high salary, he wants both. If not, he wouldn't mind staying at Manchester United. Even if there is no ball to play, "Da Qiao" can still get a salary of 12.5 million pounds.

Fans cursed Sancho for such a fool may lead to no one daring to ask for it, but in reality there will be teams who dare to take risks. For example, former Manchester United midfielder Pogba was accepted by Ligue 1 Monaco this summer. Therefore, Sancho's team is confident that he can find his next home, after all, he is not very old.
