Getafe have made a formal offer to sign former Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho, who is out of contract after his deal expired in the summer. The 26-year-old winger has been exploring a number of options, and while an agreement is said to be complicated, the Spanish side, currently 14th in La Liga and competing in the Europa Conference League, are keen to find a resolution.
Sancho cost United £73m when he joined from Borussia Dortmund in 2021. He is reportedly keen on a move away from England but remains open to all options. Earlier this week, ex-Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal joined Getafe on a free transfer after his deal at the Bernabeu expired in June. The 34-year-old Spain right-back, who won 27 trophies with Madrid, including six Champions League titles, has signed a contract until June 2027.
Sancho spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, making 39 appearances as Unai Emery's team secured Champions League qualification and Europa League success. He came on as a late substitute in the victory over Freiburg, his third European final in three seasons. He also had loan spells with Dortmund and Chelsea during his five years at United. His move to Stamford Bridge included an obligation to buy, but Chelsea paid a £5m penalty to send him back to Old Trafford after he made 41 appearances.
While he continues his search for a new team, Sancho has been posting training videos to Instagram. He also visited non-league side Flixton, who had to clarify that the former England international was not on trial with the North West Counties club.
