### Sancho Close to Juventus Move
Recent reports from *The Mirror* suggest that Jadon Sancho, the young winger currently playing for Manchester United, is on the verge of completing a significant transfer to Juventus in Italy. Given the current circumstances, United appears eager to expedite Sancho’s departure, especially after he was excluded from first-team training by manager Ruben Amorim. The situation indicates a strong push from Manchester United to finalize this deal.
Previously, it seemed that Sancho might be heading to Chelsea at the end of the season after spending a loan spell with the London side. However, the dynamics have changed, as Juventus has made a more compelling offer. Initially, they proposed a bid of £15 million (approximately €17 million). Now, however, the Italian club is willing to meet United’s asking price, which is set at €25 million (£21.6 million). This amount is noteworthy as it includes add-ons that are relatively easy to achieve alongside severance pay for Sancho. Reports indicate that Sancho is making a considerable sacrifice by accepting a substantial pay cut to facilitate his move to Turin.
### Chelsea Await Offers for Sterling
Meanwhile, Chelsea finds themselves in a precarious situation as they search for a new club for Raheem Sterling. According to *The Sun*, the club has yet to receive serious interest from local London rivals or other potential suitors. Given the financial demands of Sterling’s current contract at Stamford Bridge, it appears that only a Saudi Arabian club might entertain taking on his high wages.
The newspaper comments: “Raheem Sterling has been back at Chelsea for a week but stands at a crossroads.” After a loan stint at Arsenal that didn’t bear fruit, Sterling has rejoined Chelsea but has found himself training alongside other surplus players of the squad. Notable players in this group include Joao Felix, Axel Disasi, and Ben Chilwell, alongside Djordje Petrovic, who recently transferred to Bournemouth for £25 million.
Chelsea hopes to recoup around £20 million for Sterling, who was acquired for £47.5 million merely three years ago. This task appears challenging, as there seems to be limited demand for him amid the financial constraints many clubs are facing.
### Arsenal Locked in Talks for Gyokeres
Turning to Arsenal, they are currently in discussions with Sporting CP regarding the acquisition of striker Viktor Gyokeres. As negotiations continue, Gyokeres has been unable to join Arsenal’s pre-season tour, which is set to begin in Singapore. Per ESPN, “Arsenal have departed for their pre-season tour to Asia without Viktor Gyokeres as talks continue with Sporting CP over a move for the striker.”
The club’s journey includes matches against notable opponents such as AC Milan and Newcastle United, and they will conclude their tour with a game against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong. Reports suggest that Arsenal had intentions to include Gyokeres in their traveling roster, as negotiations have reportedly reached an advanced stage.
Arsenal has preliminarily agreed to an upfront fee around €63 million (£54.6 million), along with approximately €10 million (£8.7 million) in potential add-ons. However, as discussions unfold, the specific conditions attached to these add-ons remain a point of contention.
### Barcelona Move for Rashford Almost Done
Lastly, there are significant developments concerning Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, as *The Athletic* reports that Barcelona is nearing a loan agreement for the forward. The potential deal would allow the Catalonian club to secure Rashford without an obligation to buy at the end of the loan term, which includes an option for a permanent transfer should they wish to proceed afterward.
According to the site, “Barcelona are advancing with a move to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.” The Spanish giants have advanced their offer through intermediaries, proposing a loan that covers Rashford’s complete salary during the arrangement. With Rashford reportedly enthusiastic about the opportunity and Manchester United receptive to the move, conversations among the involved parties are now in the concluding stages.
In summary, the transfer window continues to bring exciting changes, with players like Sancho, Sterling, Gyokeres, and Rashford at the forefront of significant moves that could reshape the dynamics of their respective clubs as they prepare for the upcoming season.
