Overview

• Manchester United and AS Roma agreed on a £20m (€23m) transfer fee for Sancho, but the deal has stalled at the personal-terms stage.
• Sancho refused to accept a significant reduction from his reported £250,000-per-week salary, which remains his primary condition for any move.
• Roma are reportedly prepared to walk away if the winger does not compromise on the wage cut, creating uncertainty as the window progresses.
• United insist on a permanent sale to remove Sancho from their squad and free up his high wages before the transfer deadline.
• The 25-year-old is exploring alternative offers and has turned down interest from Besiktas, opting to wait for other options through September 1.
