Barcelona are reportedly keeping tabs on Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho ahead of a potential loan move.

Juventus‘ Federico Chiesa is Barcelona’s preferred target as they look to bring in a winger before the closure of the transfer window.

However, according to Sport, Barcelona are considering Sancho as an alternative option.

The report adds that a loan move for Sancho is unlikely as United would demand that Barcelona would pay the whole of the 24-year-old’s salary for the season.

Sancho reportedly earns around £15million a year, which would make such a move hugely unlikely given Barcelona’s financial difficulties.
