Aston Villa are in talks to sign Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho before the close of the transfer window on Monday.
Sancho spent the last season on loan at Chelsea, but the Blues decided against signing him permanently.
The former Borussia Dortmund winger is not a part of Ruben Amorim’s plans, and the club have been trying for a while to offload him.
He was linked with a move to AS Roma and Turkish clubs this summer, but his wage demands have proved to be a significant stumbling block.
According to Fabrizio Romano, discussions continue between Man United and Aston Villa for Jadon Sancho.
Villa would seemingly prefer to negotiate a loan agreement for Sancho, whereas Man United naturally want to raise funds from the sale of a player for whom they once paid £70m.
In a separate deal, Man Utd are interested in signing Emiliano Martinez from Villa on deadline day. The Argentine was dropped from the squad in the 3-0 loss against Crystal Palace.
