Roma agreement with Man United, but Sancho puts talks on hold

Coach Gian Piero Gasperini had even personally discussed a move with Sancho during two separate conference calls, and Roma expected a positive reply from the player this morning.

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter, however, tell me that Sancho has taken time, as he’s done with all other clubs interested in securing his services.

Roma ready to walk out of Sancho deal

Roma, however, seem unwilling to wait longer, especially after reaching an agreement with the other parties involved, including the player’s representative, over agent fees.

Whether the Roma decision has been taken to put pressure on the player remains to be seen.

Sancho has returned to Manchester United after a one-season loan spell at Chelsea, scoring five goals and providing ten assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
