Manchester United finally got rid of the high-paying burden of Sancho! Juventus took the England winger away for 25 million euros, and Sancho agreed to a sharp salary cut to 5.5 million euros after tax, the deal made all three parties relieved.

Manchester United accepted a 25 million euro offer from Juventus, which was much lower than the 85 million euro introduction cost four years ago, but was in line with the players' current market value. Manchester United urgently needs to clear out high-paying and redundant staff, and Sancho's departure has freed up salary space for the team.

Sancho's annual salary after tax at Juventus is set at 5.5 million euros, equivalent to a weekly salary of about 170,000 pounds. This is a sharp drop from his £250,000 weekly salary at Manchester United, but Juventus promised his central position in the team and convinced him to accept the salary cut.

Manchester United will also pay Sancho an additional £4 million to compensate for the salary difference between him and his original contract.

Juventus new general manager Comoli personally promoted the deal. He held multiple rounds of negotiations with Manchester United through video conferences and directly promised Sancho the key to tactical status, which ultimately led to the players' nod.

Sancho's agent has been in touch with Juventus for a long time, and management changes have accelerated the negotiation process.

Sancho is more inclined to stay in the five major leagues, and Juventus meets his expectations. Although Fenerbahce also offered a similar annual salary, the players believe that the Serie A giants' platform is more attractive.

Juventus regards Sancho as an ideal candidate for strengthening the wing. Team winger Costic is about to leave the team, and Sancho's technical style is considered more suitable for Serie A rhythm.

His dribbling and passing abilities are expected to be activated in Juventus' system. The risk of this low-cost transaction is controllable. If the player recovers his form, Juventus may gain excessive returns.

Manchester United is eager to sell Sancho because he is not in the new coach's plan. Amorin made it clear that the winger was not needed, and the player's contract was only one year left, so it was imperative to avoid leaving the team for free. Last season, Sancho's basic weekly salary at Manchester United was 250,000 pounds, but after missing the Champions League, it dropped to 190,000 pounds, which was overloaded.

Juventus's deal with Manchester United does not involve player swaps. Although the two clubs have discussed Vlahovic, the annual salary of Serbian centers is as high as 10 million euros after tax, far exceeding Sancho, so the swap plan is put on hold. Vlahovic's transfer may be pushed independently.

Fenebache and Arsenal were rumored to be interested in Sancho, but their actual actions were limited. The 15 million euro transfer fee reported by Turkish media has not been confirmed, and Mourinho is not very interested in Sancho. The players' team may take advantage of these rumors to raise prices, but Juventus is always the only next company to negotiate in depth.

In the long run, if Sancho can find form at Juventus, it will not only benefit his personal career development, but may also bring a win-win situation for both teams.

On the one hand, Juventus has obtained a young talent with world-class potential; on the other hand, Manchester United has successfully solved the problem of the team's salary structure and made room for possible new players in the future.

The transfer is expected to be officially announced next week. Juventus Director Comoli will complete the final signing after returning to Europe, and Sancho's Manchester United career officially ends.

This transfer is a wise choice for either party. I hope Sancho can find his own position in the new environment, continue to grow and contribute wonderful performance.
