Jadon Sancho issued transfer ultimatum by Roma as Man Utd press winger to respond to only offer on table

The Red Devils are seeking an end to the Sancho transfer saga and have asked his camp to agree to the Roma move, as there are no other offers on the table for the winger, according to Corriere dello Sport. Sancho is reportedly interested in the move but has not given a concrete response to the Italian side. Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini is hopeful to secure his signing, as he reiterated after the Bologna match by stating: "Sancho never said no to Roma," giving the club a glimmer of hope.

Sancho's delay in providing his final stance has kept Roma's director of football, Frederic Massara, and coach Gasperini in limbo, as they are willing to wait a few more days before switching to alternative targets. It is only because of Gasperini's admiration that a proposal still waits for Sancho. United are well aware of the situation and know that they stand to lose out on €18 million (£15m/$21m) plus bonuses if Sancho's camp declines. 

The winger's high wages have been a constant issue, and the club is building pressure on his camp to accept the move. Roma have said they will wait until Wednesday for an answer.

The Englishman was previously linked with a move to Juventus. Reportedly, the clubs agreed on personal terms but could not agree on a transfer fee, which is the opposite of what Roma is facing at the moment. Borussia Dortmund's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, also spoke about the possibility of signing Sancho, as he claimed the club would look into the feasibility of the deal. However, no inquiries have been made yet.

The clock is ticking for Sancho as Roma are prepared to move on to other targets before the transfer window closes next week. Among the names on the shortlist are Wolverhampton's Fabio Silva and Chelsea's Tyrique George.
