The summer transfer window may be over, but for free agents like Jadon Sancho, talks can continue for as long as is necessary.
According to TEAMtalk, the England international is in talks with two Premier League sides over a move to join them.
The 26-year-old is not short of suitors, having left Manchester United at the end of his contract with them earlier this summer.
Talks are still at an early stage for the winger, with the clubs still weighing up the possibility of a deal being reached.
Jadon Sancho’s Options After Leaving Manchester United
Once spoken about in the same breath as some of the biggest names in European football, Sancho has endured a few disappointing years.
The winger enjoyed a brilliant spell at Borussia Dortmund in Germany before moving to Manchester United in the summer of 2021.
At Old Trafford, things began to unravel for the Englishman, eventually resulting in separate loan spells at Dortmund, Chelsea, and most recently Aston Villa.
He was allowed to leave Old Trafford this summer, ending his five-year association with the Red Devils.
Sancho has been approached by Dortmund for another spell in Germany, and has suitors from several other leagues, including UAE second division side Arabian Falcons.
The Emirati side offered him a no-strings-attached contract to play under Jonjo Shelvey in Dubai, alongside the likes of Ravel Morrison and Danny Simpson.
The pair of unnamed Premier League sides have now joined the race for the forward, who will prioritise projects that offer consistent starting minutes and structural clarity.
His representatives will engage both suitors to find out whether their proposals are worth remaining in England for.
The Manchester City academy graduate is in no hurry to put pen to paper, and will only sign for a project that fits his plans.
What Sancho Needs From His Next Club
At this stage of Jadon Sancho's career, his priority will be to play as much as he can. On his day, the forward is still capable of producing at levels close to what he showed at Dortmund.
From a tactical standpoint, he is a versatile attacking asset capable of operating on either flank, bringing elite 1v1 dribbling, vision in tight spaces, and high-level chance creation to his team.
Sancho is a player who needs to feel loved and be happy to produce his best football, and his representatives will bear this in mind while they negotiate a contract for him.
A return to Germany could be best for Sancho, seeing as he has performed across two spells in a Borussia Dortmund shirt.
Joining a club with a manager committed to building around his creative strengths could unlock his full potential once again.
If he manages to hit his stride, securing a talent of Sancho’s pedigree represents a high-upside move capable of transforming a team's attacking threat.
The high-stakes nature and significant pressure in the Premier League may not allow Sancho to find the space he needs to find his best form once more.
