Barcelona are reportedly keeping a close eye on Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho over a possible loan move.
Juventus’ Federico Chiesa is the preferred candidate for Barcelona, who want to sign a winger before the end of the transfer window.
According to SportBarcelona are considering Sancho as an alternative option.
The report claims a loan move for Sancho is unlikely as United would demand Barcelona pay the 24-year-old’s entire salary for the season.
Sancho reportedly earns around £15million a year, making such a transfer highly unlikely given Barcelona’s financial problems.
