‘Man United to pay Jadon Sancho to leave’ – fans explode after transfer update
Man United fans reacted in unison to call for Jadon Sancho to be paid off his contract following an update regarding his future.
Sancho is yet to return to Manchester United, despite his loan spell at Chelsea officially coming to an end last month.
Chelsea opted against signing the Sancho permanently and instead paid United a £5 million fee to remove the purchase obligation that was initially included in the loan agreement.
He has since been granted additional time off by the club to explore his options, alongside Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, who are also yet to report back to Carrington.
According to former United chief scout Mick Brown, Juventus have shown interest in bringing Sancho to Serie but talks appear to have stalled in recent days.
The latest development has sparked frustration among sections of the United fanbase, with many calling for the club to cut ties with Sancho completely—even if it means paying off his remaining contract.
Jadon Sancho demands severance package before Man United exit
According to La Stampa, a Turin-based outlet, the winger has already agreed personal terms with the Serie A giants.
However, negotiations have stalled due to Sancho requesting a severance payment worth £4.3 million to compensate for the wages he would lose by leaving Man United.
Sancho’s salary has been a major obstacle for potential suitors throughout the summer. Chelsea were unable to agree terms during his loan spell, and ultimately opted not to pursue a permanent deal.
It had been reported that Sancho would take a wage cut to join Juventus, which explains how personal terms have been agreed so swiftly. Still, a deal is on pause until the compensation issue is resolved.
Man United fans urge club to terminate Jadon Sancho contract
The winger’s relationship with the United fanbase has deteriorated since his exit—most notably following Sancho’s controversial comment on Rashford’s Instagram post where he said he had found “freedom” after leaving Old Trafford.
The remark sparked backlash, with fans questioning his commitment and attitude. The situation has only worsened following news of his severance demands.
With both Sancho and Rashford given extended time off to explore transfer options, there are concerns within the club over what happens if they fail to secure moves before the season begins.
Supporters, meanwhile, have made their feelings clear. Calls for United to cut ties are growing louder, with many echoing the sentiment with one saying “Just pay it and get rid of him” and another adding “Just terminate his contract.”
