Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United is still uncertain as reports emerge that Barcelona is interested in securing a loan deal for the talented winger. However, it seems that his high salary may pose a problem for the potential move.
Sancho's situation at Old Trafford has been unclear since he was brought back into the fold by manager Erik ten Hag in the summer, only to be left out of the squad for the opening game of the Premier League season. This comes after a tumultuous season last year, where Sancho spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
Despite appearing to have resolved any issues with his boss, not featuring on the bench for the recent win against Fulham does not bode well for Sancho's future at the club. When asked about his absence, Ten Hag stated that it was due to squad depth and Sancho's recent ear infection.
While Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have also been linked with a move for the young winger, it seems that Barcelona is also monitoring the situation. However, their reported interest is in a loan deal rather than a permanent transfer.
The main obstacle for Barcelona is Sancho's reported salary of £250,000-a-week, which they would have to cover in full for a loan deal to be agreed upon. On the other hand, Manchester United is open to selling Sancho but would want at least €40m for him, after spending £73m on him just three years ago.
Despite already making big signings this summer, Chelsea may be the most likely club to make a permanent move for Sancho, with Manchester United anticipating a bid from Stamford Bridge. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen where Sancho's future lies, but one thing is for sure - it is still uncertain.
