Reports suggest that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in winger Jadon Sancho, while Manchester United are keen on midfielder Manuel Ugarte. Some might wonder if a swap deal could be on the cards, but neither club seems to have that in mind.
Foot Mercato’s Santi Aouna reported on Tuesday that Sancho has always wanted to join PSG, and the reigning Ligue 1 champions have reportedly offered him €17 million gross per year.
Meanwhile, RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins also reported on Tuesday that PSG and Manchester United are also in ongoing discussions about Manuel Ugarte. Despite both clubs keen on a certain player, don’t expect them to make a deal involving the two standouts.
According to Simon Jones of Mail Sport, any potential deal for Sancho would be independent of the ongoing negotiations between PSG and United for Ugarte.

L’Equipe reported this week that PSG remains interested in Sancho and are actively pursuing a deal. From the start of the transfer window, Enrique and Luís Campos have prioritized signing a winger who can deliver both creativity and efficiency, whether through goals or assists.
