Manchester United are reportedly close to agreeing a deal with Juventus for Jadon Sancho.
Sancho seems to be at the center of a three-horse race between Fenerbahce, Juventus, and Serie A rivals Napoli ahead of his definitive departure from Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old reportedly accepted a contract offer from Fenerbahce worth over £8.5 million annually, according to Turkish newspapers.
Nevertheless, he purportedly waited for Juventus or Napoli to respond, and now the former have taken action.
According to Sky Italy as reported by The Daily Express, the Bianconeri are set to meet with Sancho’s representatives soon in an attempt to reach a clear and final agreement about a transfer.

According to reports, Sancho might decide within hours, and if approved, the Old Lady will move swiftly to complete a deal with United.
Napoli’s interest have cooled following Giovanni Manna’s public declaration that the team will not meet the England international’s salary demands.
Additionally, Juventus are leading the race to win Sancho over, even if Fenerbahce are in a strong position to present an alluring financial offer.
After spending the last two seasons on loan at Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund, Sancho is most likely to leave United permanently this summer.
Chelsea backed out of the £25 million purchase clause in his contract since he failed to blow everyone away at Stamford Bridge last season.
Although the Blues paid a £5 million fine to send him packing and back to Manchester, he is unlikely to return to Carrington for preseason.
