According to reports, Barcelona has been offered Jadon Sancho in a shocking transfer swap deal for Brazilian winger, Raphinha.

 

Since his September public argument with Erik ten Hag, the winger has been sidelined from the first team.

 

After the manager said Ten Hag wasn’t working hard enough in training, the former Borussia Dortmund star, who signed with the Red Devils for £73 million in 2021, lashed out at Ten Hag on social media. Ten Hag’s refusal to apologise has since escalated tensions.

 

His £275,000-per-week contract has him training alone at Carrington on full pay, costing United about £4 million in wages.

 

The 23-year-old, though, might be about to leave Old Trafford and move to Barcelona in January, according to Spanish publication Sport.

 

In an incredible trade for former Leeds winger Raphinha, Sancho is reportedly being offered to Xavi’s team, according to the outlet.

 

After spending £56 million, the Brazilian joined the La Liga powerhouses in 2022 and made his league title debut the following year.

 

But from 36 league games, his return was only seven goals and seven assists. With the rise of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha has steadily secured his spot in the starting XI despite not seeing much improvement in his hit rate this season.

 

Sancho has also drawn interest from Juventus and the Saudi League, and a swap deal involving Donyell Malen and his former team, Borussia Dortmund, has been mentioned.
