AS Roma are increasingly confident of securing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United after submitting a £20m loan-with-obligation offer — regarded as the most attractive proposal United have received so far for the England winger.

The Italian side is now awaiting the final green light from Old Trafford, while Sancho’s representatives are in direct talks with Roma to finalise salary details. If completed, the deal would see Sancho reunite with Serie A football and give him a fresh start after a turbulent spell in Manchester.
