Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson explained why he doesn’t see the outcast Man United winger heading to Turin this summer.
Sancho‘s future looks certain to lie away from Old Trafford after he and four other Man United players were given extra pre-season time to find a new club, after the winger’s season-long loan at Chelsea.
Juventus have emerged as candidates to offer Sancho an exit route from Old Trafford, but Robinson told Football Insider that both wage demands and the structure of any possible deal could scupper his move.
USA winger Timothy Weah and Brazil midfielder Douglas Luiz have been mooted as players who could move the other way as part of a swap deal for Sancho, but this will complicate any possible transfer.
Robinson told Football Insider that Sancho’s weekly wage of £300,000 is too expensive for Juventus regardless of how many players they move on, not to mention the logistics of a swap involving multiple players.
