Forget Jadon Sancho! AS Roma ready move for Chelsea academy graduate Tyrique George in search for new winger

Roma had reached an agreement with Manchester United for Sancho, but the winger rejected the move, forcing the Serie A side to look elsewhere. According to Fabrizio Romano, Roma have since made contact over Chelsea academy product Tyrique George. The 19-year-old could leave Stamford Bridge this summer, either on loan or permanently.

George’s potential move comes during a crucial final week of the transfer window, with Roma eager to add attacking depth. The Chelsea winger is considered a strong alternative after Sancho’s refusal left Gian Piero Gasperini and the Giallorossi scrambling. Premier League sides and RB Leipzig are also monitoring the youngster closely.

George has been regarded as one of Chelsea’s brightest academy prospects and is seeking regular first-team opportunities following the Blues' heavy summer investment in the forwards department. Roma’s interest dates back to July, when they first inquired about a deal for the 19-year-old.

Roma are expected to push negotiations in the coming days as they aim to finalise their squad before deadline day. Chelsea will weigh up whether to sanction a permanent sale or loan move. George’s next step could depend on which club offers the best path to consistent senior minutes.
