Roma considers Jadon Sancho as left-wing option before new season
Summary

With just over two weeks until the new season opener against Fiorentina, Roma is exploring options for a left-wing position following a failed pursuit of Antonio Nusa. Gian Piero Gasperini's side has struggled to find suitable targets and may look to Jadon Sancho, who has faced challenges in his career since leaving Borussia Dortmund. Sancho is currently evaluating his future after a turbulent stint that has left him training with a non-league team. Roma could acquire him without a transfer fee, presenting a high-risk, high-reward scenario for the club as it aims to strengthen its attacking options.
