That preference could give Chelsea the advantage, as reporter Dharmesh Sheth says the London club are in contention to land the England international. The Blues are open to sending another player to Old Trafford as part of the deal to lower the transfer fee.
DID YOU KNOW?
Despite seemingly putting an end to his feud with Erik ten Hag, which resulted in him being banished from the squad and sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund last season, Sancho has not featured in either of United's first two Premier League games of the season. He travelled with the team for Saturday's game against Brighton, but was left out of the squad, reportedly due to talks over a potential transfer.

It seems Sancho is yet to properly win over Ten Hag in the early stages of the season, so he may push for a move before the transfer window comes to an end on August 30. Whether he prefers to head to Chelsea or Juventus remains to be seen.
