Fabrizio Romano reveals what he's heard about Jadon Sancho and Juventus amid Man Utd standoff

Fabrizio Romano has revealed what he's heard about Jadon Sancho's potential move to Juventus.

Sancho has been banished from first-team training after refusing to apologise to manager Erik ten Hag following their public fall-out.

The 23-year-old has since been tipped to leave the club in January, with Juventus reportedly interested in acquiring the winger's services.

That's according to The Sun, who claimed on Saturday that the Italian giants are planning to sign Sancho on a temporary loan deal in January, with a view to signing him permanently in the summer.

However, transfer expert Romano has since cast doubt over a move, confirming that there are 'no negotiations' between Sancho and Juventus, and that the Serie A club are currently 'happy' with their wide players.

Speaking on The United Stand YouTube channel, Romano said: "At the moment, Juventus are not confirming anything about this story.

"They are very happy with the players they have in that position at the moment, so let's see, maybe in December this could change. But at the moment, Juventus are not looking for any player in that position.

"And they think if they are going to do anything in January, it would be for a midfielder, so their plan is different at the moment."

Romano also provided an update on Erik ten Hag's current plan for the player, claiming that the Dutchman, along with the rest of his staff, are insisting Sancho apologises if they are to reintegrate him back into the squad.

"For Sancho in general, I think the message from Erik ten Hag in private is very clear.

"And not just Ten Hag, it's about the whole coaching staff, not just the manager. They want the same as Erik ten Hag.

"They want Jadon Sancho to apologise otherwise the situation will remain like this, so it's on Jadon now. Let's see if he is going to change or not.

"In any case, it's obvious that the January transfer window is becoming a very concrete possibility."
