Juve's move for Sancho had seemed promising, but he could still end up at another Serie A side, with Inter are reportedly interested in signing him. Manchester United are particularly eager to sell Sancho and fear they will still have the England winger and Antony on their books come transfer deadline day on September 1.

Unless Juventus can offload one or more wingers, Sancho’s move is unlikely to progress. Marseille have reportedly reached an agreement with Weah, and if that deal goes through, Juve may resume talks with United later in the window.
