Jadon Sancho decision to reject Roma reportedly influenced by relationship with US rapper
It has been clear since the beginning of the summer that Jadon Sancho is not one of the attacking players favoured by Red Devils' boss Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese manager has signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo is forward positions, leaving no space for the unfavoured English star to earn a place in the team.
Earlier this month, multiple reports confirmed that Italian side AS Roma had launched a bid worth €23 million to sign Sancho permanently, which the player is yet to accept.
Despite Roma also signing fellow Premier League winger Leon Bailey, the club are still said to be interested in brining in Sancho.
The reason for the 25-year-old's decision to stall his potential deal with Roma has now been revealed by Italian newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport.
Per the renowned Italian newspaper, Sancho is unsure of progressing with the move to Roma because of his romantic relationship with the US artist Saweetie.
Sancho is said to have been flying out to visit the rapper three times per month.
He may even be prepared to consider abandoning his playing career in Europe in order to live closer to Saweetie, with a move to the MLS.
Saweetie is best known for her 2017 debut single "Icy Grl" which has been streamed more than 200 million times on Spotify.
