According to Italian sources, AS Roma is likely to cease their efforts to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. Instead, the club is now focusing on acquiring Chelsea`s young talent Tyrique George.
Roma has been in talks with Manchester United regarding Sancho for several weeks, but has failed to secure the player`s agreement. While Sancho hasn`t definitively rejected a move to Stadio Olimpico, recent developments suggest he is unlikely to approve the transfer.
Following a meeting between Roma`s director Frederic Massara and Sancho`s representatives in England, it became apparent that the chances of Sancho joining Roma were slim. This has prompted the Italian club to shift their attention to other targets.
The new focus of Roma`s transfer efforts is 19-year-old Chelsea winger Tyrique George. The young player has attracted interest from several Bundesliga clubs but is reportedly open to joining Roma before the transfer window closes.
Unlike Sancho, George is not interested in a loan move. Roma is prepared to make a significant investment to secure him on a permanent basis. Massara is currently working with Chelsea representatives and George`s agent to facilitate the transfer.
This potential move represents Roma`s strategy to invest in young, promising talent as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
