Juventus Ready to Pull Trigger on Jadon Sancho Transfer as Old Lady Eyes Premier League Double Deal
Premier League Outcasts Could Offer Fresh Spark as Juventus Looks to Rebuild Under Igor Tudor
Another summer, another Juventus rebuild. But this time, the winds of change blowing through Turin carry with them a distinctly English accent. The Old Lady, determined to bounce back from a forgettable 2024 campaign, is lining up not one but two Premier League transfers—with Jadon Sancho front and center.
The ex-Manchester United starlet, once hailed as the next big thing in English football, could now be headed to Italy in a move that represents redemption for the player and strategic renewal for the club. And Sancho might not be arriving alone. Yves Bissouma of Tottenham Hotspur has also emerged as a target in what’s shaping up to be a bold recruitment drive aimed at overhauling the spine of Igor Tudor’s new-look squad.
A Second Chance for Sancho in Serie A?
It’s been a strange few years for Jadon Sancho. From Borussia Dortmund’s golden boy to out-of-favor outcast at Manchester United, his journey has been anything but linear. The 24-year-old winger found himself completely frozen out at Old Trafford last season following a well-publicized falling out with Erik ten Hag. A loan spell at Chelsea—meant to be a temporary revival—yielded little more than headlines and a handful of cameos.
Now, as reported by Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are preparing to make their move. The Italian giants are said to be working on a proposal that would see Douglas Luiz head the other way, potentially smoothing negotiations with United, who are keen to freshen up their midfield.
“Juve see Sancho as a low-risk, high-reward option,” said one source close to the negotiations. “They believe they can revive him in the right environment.”
It wouldn’t be the first time a so-called “outcast” from the Premier League flourished in Italy. Just ask Romelu Lukaku, who reignited his career at Inter, or even Scott McTominay, whose move to Napoli in 2024 shocked many but paid immediate dividends.
Why Juventus Want Sancho

Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton FC – Premier League
For Juventus, the rationale is clear. The team finished a distant fourth in Serie A last season, lacking width, pace, and creativity in the final third. With Federico Chiesa enduring another injury-plagued year and Filip Kostić reportedly on his way out, there’s a glaring vacancy on the flanks. Sancho, despite his struggles, still possesses that blend of flair and directness that made him such a threat in Germany.
“We know what Sancho is capable of. What he needs now is the right setting—and we believe Juventus can offer him that,” an unnamed club official was quoted as saying.
Beyond his on-pitch qualities, Juventus are also mindful of the marketing potential Sancho brings. Even after two quiet seasons, the winger remains a recognizable face with a strong social media following and commercial appeal—something not lost on a club looking to boost its brand globally.
Premier League Addition No. 2: Bissouma on the Radar
But Sancho isn’t the only Premier League player on Juventus’ radar. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Old Lady has also made initial contact over a potential move for Yves Bissouma. The Malian midfielder, who has just one year left on his Spurs contract, is being seen as a viable alternative to long-term targets Sandro Tonali and Davide Frattesi.
Bissouma has had a stop-start career at Tottenham, showing flashes of brilliance but also struggling for consistency under multiple managers. With Postecoglou not viewing him as integral to his midfield plans, Juve see an opportunity.
And perhaps more importantly, they see a potential upgrade over Douglas Luiz, who arrived from Aston Villa with high expectations but has yet to justify the price tag.
Tudor’s Vision and the Post-Motta Reboot
Juventus‘ interest in these two Premier League misfits comes after a chaotic 2024 that saw Thiago Motta sacked just nine months into his tenure. Despite a busy summer window that brought in names like Luiz, Carlos Alcaraz, and Tiago Djaló, the team never clicked. Results faltered, performances flatlined, and eventually, patience ran out.
Now with Igor Tudor at the helm, the club is turning to more physically dominant, transition-oriented players—exactly the profile Bissouma and Sancho can offer.
“Tudor wants legs, energy, and aggression,” said a Juve analyst familiar with the manager’s training sessions. “He’s trying to build a team that can press high, counter fast, and win second balls. These are not vanity signings—they fit a very specific plan.”
A Transfer Balancing Act
Still, Juve aren’t flush with cash. Years of financial mismanagement and missed Champions League revenue have left the club operating under tighter constraints than many fans realize. That’s why deals like these—reclamation projects from the Premier League, potentially available at below-market value—are so appealing.
In Sancho’s case, Manchester United are believed to be willing to accept a cut-price fee just to get him off the books. A loan-to-buy option is also on the table. For Bissouma, Tottenham’s reluctance to renew his deal gives Juventus leverage they didn’t have earlier in the window.
The potential inclusion of Douglas Luiz in the Sancho deal could be a masterstroke, not just as a way to offload a misfiring midfielder, but to reduce cash outlay.
What’s Next for Juventus?

FBL-EUR-C1-JUVENTUS-PSV EINDHOVEN
With their Club World Cup adventure behind them and pre-season looming, Juventus are in full planning mode. Talks with Manchester United and Tottenham will continue this week, with both clubs believed to be open to finding swift resolutions.
There’s also work being done behind the scenes to move on other surplus players, including Weston McKennie, Matias Soulé, and Moise Kean. The idea is to streamline the squad before heading to their training camp in the Alps later this month.
If all goes according to plan, Sancho and Bissouma could both be wearing black and white by the time that first whistle of the new Serie A season blows.
Final Word: Risky or Revolutionary?
Some may scoff at Juventus’ summer strategy. After all, betting on players deemed surplus to requirements in England is rarely seen as ambitious. But this could also be exactly the kind of market shrewdness that Serie A clubs have long been famous for—reclaiming value where others see only risk.
And in a season where Juventus are desperate to reclaim their spot at the top of Italian football, a rejuvenated Jadon Sancho and a reborn Yves Bissouma might be exactly what the Old Lady needs.
Only time will tell if the Premier League outcasts can become Serie A stars. But one thing’s for certain—Juventus aren’t standing still this summer. They’re ready to pull the trigger.
