Barcelona ‘turn to Man Utd outcast Jadon Sancho in shock loan transfer.. but Liverpool superstar is their top choice’
BARCELONA are looking to bring Jadon Sancho in on loan, according to reports in Spain.
That comes after Manchester United reportedly slapped a £50million price tag on the winger.
Spanish outlet Sport report that United have offered Sancho to both Juventus and Barcelona.
The Catalan giants held talks with United over a Sancho transfer in April but do not want to bring him in on a permanent deal.
Juventus also scoffed at United’s £50m asking price.
Barcelona would be willing to bring Sancho in on loan if they cannot sign their first-choice wingers.
Top of Barca’s wish list is Liverpool forward Luis Diaz but it is unlikely the Catalan club would be unable to afford the winger.
Liverpool signed Diaz from Porto for £50m in 2022 and would want to turn a profit on the Colombian were they to sell him.
Barca are once again facing financial constraints and would struggle to justify a fee given their attempts to balance the books.
Their other priority winger is Nico Williams but he is unlikely to leave Athletic Club unless his £49m release clause is met – which represents the same financial issue for Barca.

They may look to sell former Leeds winger Raphinha to raise funds, according to Sport.
But if Diaz and Williams prove unattainable then Hansi Flick would not be opposed to bringing Sancho in.
Sancho’s United career is over after falling out with Erik ten Hag in September last year.
The winger said he had been made to feel a scapegoat for the team’s poor performances and refused to apologise to the Dutchman.
Borussia Dortmund, where Sancho spent the second half of last season on loan, are unwilling to pay United’s asking price for the winger.
They would also struggle to afford Sancho’s wages.
