Roma edge closer to Bailey and Sancho double agreement for 2025-26

While Roma are keeping Manu Koné, they are still progressing rapidly for both Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho and Leon Bailey of Aston Villa.

Multiple sources reported this evening that the club had decided to put a stop to the negotiations with Inter for the sale of Koné.

The suggestions that they were selling him to raise funds for the two new signings were also rebuffed, because the focus is on bringing in the attacking wide men.

Bailey and Sancho eager to join Roma

Sancho has already agreed personal terms with Roma, including a significant pay cut to €4.5m net per season plus bonuses, and Manchester United seem ready to accept the €23m proposal.

He had waited for weeks for Juventus, but finally lost patience with the Bianconeri.

Tonight’s reports from Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and more all confirm that they are also now getting closer to a deal for Aston Villa forward Bailey.

This would be a loan with option to buy for the Jamaica international, becoming an obligation if certain conditions were met.

His agents are reportedly in Italy for direct talks with Roma over personal terms.
