Several players are running out of time as they look to avoid the nightmare scenario of spending most of the season sitting on the bench

AS Roma have shifted their focus away from Jadon Sancho and are now reportedly eyeing Chelsea's highly-rated youngster Tyrique George. The Italian club have reportedly asked about conditions for a deal, as they look to strengthen their wide options before the transfer window closes. George has also drawn interest from RB Leipzig and several Premier League clubs.

The reasons why Jadon Sancho rejected a loan-to-buy move to Roma have been revealed, with the Manchester United outcast still in transfer limbo. United, desperate to offload him this summer, seemed open to Roma’s proposal, as it had an obligation to purchase the player outright in 2026, but the England international was not convinced.

Ruben Amorim has made it clear Manchester United’s ‘bomb squad’ players must take responsibility for securing their own exits before the transfer window closes. With Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia still on the fringes of his squad, the Red Devils boss admitted it is 'not a good thing' to carry unsettled players into the new season.

Jadon Sancho's agents are reportedly demanding a massive fee to facilitate a move to AS Roma. The Manchester United winger, 25, is expected to walk away from Old Trafford before the window slams shut, but the tug-of-war over his signature has taken a fiery twist.
