JAKARTA AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho is said to be interested in signing Jadon Sancho, who is having problems with Manchester United (MU).

Football Italia reports that the Portuguese tactician will try to take advantage of the increasingly tense situation between Sancho and MU. He allegedly negotiated at the nearest January transfer window.

Sancho, 23 years old, is currently frozen from the squad by his manager, Erik ten Hag. There is no sign that the conflict with the man from the Netherlands will improve soon.

This issue stems from Ten Hag's statement on September 3 after the match against Arsenal. He said Sancho did not play in the match because he was not in good condition.

The manager's statement was later denied by the former Borussia Dortmund player. He spoke through social media that he was tired of being a scapegoat.

Sancho was then pushed by his colleagues to apologize to the manager. However, he was reluctant to do so so that in the aftermath he was prohibited from using team facilities at the training ground.

An apology for his actions is the only way that can allow Sancho to return to his squad and try to get his place again.

In the midst of this situation, Jose Mourinho is also said to want to bring Sancho to the Stadio Olimpico. There are several options that can be done, one of which is to borrow the player.

However, if the situation continues to worsen, termination of a contract with mutual consent may also occur. If this is done then Sancho could move to Italy on a free transfer.

However, this final step will be detrimental to Manchester United. The reason is, they paid 85 million euros to sign Sancho from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021.
