Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is reportedly close to agreeing personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in a surprising potential transfer move.
According to sources from the French sports newspaper L’Equipe, Sancho could soon be joining the Ligue 1 giants.
Sancho, 24, has returned to Manchester United after spending the second half of the previous season on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
His loan spell at Dortmund saw him making a significant impact, which led to speculation that he might be given another opportunity to shine at Old Trafford.
This speculation seemed to be supported by Sancho’s recent appearances. He made his first appearance for Manchester United in almost a year during a friendly victory against Rangers last weekend.

This marked a potential turning point for Sancho at United, especially after a prolonged period of being sidelined by manager Erik ten Hag.
Sancho had previously been excluded from the squad due to underwhelming performances in training, leading to a tense relationship between the player and the manager.
However, it appears that Sancho and ten Hag have called a truce, with ten Hag recently expressing hope that the winger could play an important role for Manchester United moving forward.
“I believe Jadon can still have a significant impact for us this season,” ten Hag commented, hinting at a possible reintegration into the squad.
Despite these positive signs, the potential move to PSG suggests that Sancho’s future might lie away from Old Trafford. PSG, known for their ambitious transfer strategies, seem keen to bring the talented winger to Paris, potentially providing him with a fresh start and new opportunities in the French capital.
Sancho’s career has been a rollercoaster since his high-profile transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United in 2021.
Expected to be a transformative signing for the Red Devils, he struggled to consistently showcase the form that made him one of Europe’s hottest prospects during his time in the Bundesliga.
His loan back to Dortmund was seen as a chance to regain confidence and form, which he seemingly achieved, thus reigniting interest from top clubs.
For PSG, adding Sancho to their ranks could bolster their attacking options significantly. The club has been looking to strengthen their squad as they continue to chase domestic and European glory.
