Jadon Sancho has been on loan at Aston Villa this season, and the winger is said to be keen on making the move a permanent one.
According to Sports Boom, Aston Villa are now preparing a cut-price move for the 26-year-old Manchester United attacker ahead of the summer window.
Manchester United do not view Sancho as part of their plans going forward and are looking to move him on from Old Trafford.
Aston Villa are believed to need more quality and depth in their attacking unit, and Sancho is viewed as a player who could contribute in that area.
Villa manager Unai Emery is said to believe Sancho could be a very useful player for the club and is pushing for a permanent deal.
Crystal Palace have also been credited with an interest in the player, meaning Villa could face competition to secure his signature this summer.
Sancho originally joined Manchester United for a fee of £73 million in 2021, but he has failed to establish himself at the club since his arrival.
The attacker has had multiple loan spells since joining United, though he has never managed to consistently impress at any English club.
A key sticking point in any potential deal is reported to be Sancho’s wage demands, with Aston Villa unlikely to match what he was earning at Manchester United.
The report states that Sancho will need to reduce those wage demands in order for any permanent transfer to be completed this summer.
Aston Villa are set to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season, which could prove to be a significant factor in convincing Sancho to commit to a move to the West Midlands.
Whether Sancho is willing to accept what may be a squad role at Villa Park remains one of the outstanding questions as negotiations develop.
