Juventus are 'upping the ante' in their pursuit of Jadon Sancho, according to a report.

The Manchester United winger is one of the many names expected to be sold by the Red Devils this summer as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Erik ten Hag and the club's recruitment staff plot their big squad overhaul.

The €85 million signing fell out with Ten Hag last year and spent the second half of the season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, reviving his career back at his old stomping ground. The Black and Yellow wanted to keep him around but were unwilling and unable to meet Man Utd's demands for a permanent transfer.

However, Dortmund will have been heartened by reports earlier on Friday that the Red Devils have changed their stance and could potentially be open to a renewed loan. That said, it increasingly looks as though Sancho will not return to Germany.

Juventus step up pursuit

That is because Juventus have stepped up their pursuit of the 24-year-old, according to GIVEMESPORT. The Bianconeri, of course, will undergo a change of system this summer under new coach Thiago Motta and he is looking to add some traditional wingers to his squad.

The report asserts that Juventus have 'upped the ante' in their attempts to secure a loan for Sancho and are 'poised to enter formal discussions' for the winger.

It is even asserted that the Old Lady could seal a deal for Sancho as early as next week if they are successful in their bid of offloading Federico Chiesa, who will not be part of the Motta project in Turin.

Man Utd are determined to get rid of Sancho before their pre-season really ramps up with a friendly against Rosenborg on July 15. United would seek to include an obligation to buy in any loan for Sancho.
