Fiorentina rejects Jadon Sancho opportunity after Manchester United departure

Summary

Fiorentina has declined the chance to sign Jadon Sancho, who is now a free agent after Manchester United did not extend his contract. Sancho previously attracted interest from Serie A clubs, particularly during a transfer saga with Roma. Reports indicate that Fiorentina's decision was influenced by Sancho's recent performance issues and their strategy to acquire a younger player, Franco Mastantuono, instead. Sancho's representatives approached the club two weeks ago to discuss a potential signing.
