Barcelona ‘are eyeing Jadon Sancho for possible loan as an alternative to Fernando Chiesa, but Manchester United winger’s salary could complicate deal’

Barcelona are reportedly keeping a close eye on Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho over a possible loan move.

Juventus’ Federico Chiesa is the preferred candidate for Barcelona, ​​who want to sign a winger before the end of the transfer window.

However, according to Sport, Barcelona are considering Sancho as an alternative.

The report claims a loan move for Sancho is unlikely as United would demand Barcelona pay the 24-year-old’s entire salary for the season.

Sancho reportedly earns around £15million a year, making such a transfer highly unlikely given Barcelona’s financial problems.

It seems unlikely that Hansi Flick’s side will pursue a deal for Sancho due to his salary

Hansi Flick’s team are currently unable to sign new signing Dani Olmo, following his arrival from RB Leipzig.

Sancho is back at United after spending the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund.

Despite previously falling out with United manager Erik ten Hag, Sancho played for the Red Devils in pre-season after agreeing to make a fresh start.

Sancho played as a substitute in the Community Shield, but missed a penalty in the penalty shootout against Manchester City.

However, he was not involved in United’s Premier League opener against Fulham.

Sancho, who was previously linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, made 83 appearances for United, scoring 12 goals.
