Juve have to sell two players to recruit winger
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are continuing talks with United about a Sancho loan but their current offer will not be accepted. The report adds that even after agreeing to sell winger Federico Chiesa to Liverpool for £11 million ($14.4m), they still need to offload midfielder Arthur Melo and winger Filip Kostic to allow the England international to head to the Old Lady.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
United have reportedly been open to the idea of a loan exit for Sancho, so long as there is an obligation to buy him in 2025. However, Gazzetta, claims the Red Devils may consider loaning him out to the Italian giants without any obligation. Kostic has been linked with a Fiorentina move but there is still work to be done on multiple transfer fronts.
It remains to be seen what will happen with Sancho this season. The report adds that Paris Saint-Germain, and not Chelsea, are Juve's biggest competitor to recruit the former Borussia Dortmund star - particularly as United do not want to strengthen a Premier League rival. Juventus are set to increase their offer for Sancho before the deadline.
