Marcus Rashford’s loan to Barcelona has been very successful so far, Antony is shining at Real Betis and Alejandro Garnacho has been excellent for Chelsea. Meanwhile, Sancho’s loan at Villa so far has been underwhelming, to say the least.
The 25-year-old has featured only eight times for Villa, and is yet to score or assist under manager Unai Emery this season. It is claimed the winger would reportedly be prepared to take a pay cut to kickstart his career elsewhere, and that opportunity may now pop up.
According to Caughtoffside, Sancho and his representatives were spotted in Istanbul during the international break as he begins talks with three sides who are very interested in his services.
Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are both tipped to be leading the race for the winger, who dismayed many sides during the summer due to his exceptionally high wages thanks to United’s wage structure.
The report suggests that a move to the Turkish Super Lig could happen as early as January, rather than the summer, as Sancho continues to struggle in the Premier League.
GOAL report that the former England star currently earns £13M per season under the terms of his United contract, but is willing to slash it down to £7-8M.
If Sancho is serious about restarting his career at 25, Turkey is the place to do it. He would have much more game time and freedom to get back to his old self, which fans have not seen since he left Borussia Dortmund for United back in 2021.
