JAKARTA - Manchester United again carried out a surprising transfer maneuver towards the end of the stock exchange.

The Director of Sports of The Red Devils, Dan Ashworth, revealed that his club is negotiating with Chelsea to exchange Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United insists the deal involving the two stars can be completed before the deadline for the transfer window on Friday, August 30, 2024.

Sterling is no longer liked. That's why Chelsea have contacted Brentford to get striker Ivan Toney for 50 million pounds.

Sancho is like three money. He has been expelled by Erik ten Hag since last season. In the second half of the 2023/2024 season alone, Sancho has been loaned to Borussia Dortmund.

Initially, Dortmund wanted to make Sancho permanent. However, what is the power, the attacking midfielder's salary cannot be tolerated by the German club because it is still hampered by financial problems.

Sancho has not even been accepted by the team since pre-season. No wonder, the last option at the end of the transfer window is to exchange it.

Luckily, Chelsea have admired Sancho for a long time. Moreover, the 24-year-old's salary is lower than Sterling's.

Tit for tat, Manchester United also wants Sterling. However, they don't want to spend a penny.

Moreover, Sterling will also have no future at Stamford Bridge because he is not included in Enzo Maresca's projection. In fact, Sterling was sent to Chelsea U-21 if his performance did not improve.

Sancho still has a one-year contract at Old Trafford, while Sterling still has three years at Chelsea.

Even so, the win-win solution for both teams is barter for both players who are no longer needed.

Chelsea and Manchester United must immediately complete the transfer package. You see, Juventus is also reportedly interested in signing Sancho.
