Juventus are reportedly weighing up a loan move for unwanted Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho in the January transfer window.
Sancho, 23, has been suspended from first-team training since his public feud with Erik ten Hag began in September.
The pair disagreed about his effort in training, with Ten Hag revealing that Sancho’s lack of desire in training led to his omission from Man Utd’s squad for their 2-1 loss against Arsenal.

Sancho hit back on social media, claiming that he had been made a “scapegoat” by the Red Devils boss.
Now, he has been heavily linked with a January exit amid his uncertain future at Old Trafford. Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in re-signing the Englishman, while Saudi Arabia remains an option for the former Three Lions star.
Juventus have expressed their interest in Sancho, according to The Sun. The report states that Juve are hoping Man Utd will agree to pay half of his wages if they do make an approach during the winter window.

Furthermore, the Italian giants could look to sign Sancho on a permanent deal for around €70 million next summer if all goes well.
In addition, The Sun have reported that a move to Serie A is one that “holds greater appeal” than a return to Dortmund, despite links with a return to the Signal Iduna Park.
Sancho to leave Man Utd?
Sancho joined Man Utd for €85m in 2021 after several years of stellar performances in the Bundesliga. However, the former England international has been unable to replicate that form since joining the Red Devils.
He has scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 82 Man Utd appearances to date. The Old Trafford side were even willing to sell Sancho this summer, amid interest from Aston Villa, as exclusively reported by FootballTransfers in June.
However, a move to Villa Park never materialised and Unai Emery’s side signed Moussa Diaby and Nicolo Zaniolo instead.
