Breaking News: Tottenham Make Shock Approach for Man Utd Star – ‘Actually Stand a Chance’ of Sealing Deal…………
July 24, 2025 – North London
In a surprise move that has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur have made an audacious approach for a Manchester United star — and according to sources close to both clubs, they “actually stand a chance” of pulling off the deal.
The player in question is Jadon Sancho, the 25-year-old winger whose future at Old Trafford has remained uncertain amid ongoing tension with management and a lack of regular first-team football. Spurs have reportedly contacted Manchester United with an initial inquiry, and talks are believed to be progressing behind the scenes.
Sancho, once heralded as one of England’s most promising young talents following his £73 million move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, has endured a turbulent spell at United. Despite flashes of brilliance, he has struggled to consistently break into the starting XI, particularly under Erik ten Hag. His public falling-out with the Dutch manager in late 2023 further complicated his standing at the club, leading to a loan spell at Dortmund in early 2024.
Now, Tottenham are looking to take advantage of the situation.
Tottenham’s Ambitious Move
Sources indicate that Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has identified Sancho as a priority target who could inject creativity and dynamism into the club’s attacking line. With the departure of several squad members and the continued evolution of Postecoglou’s high-octane system, Sancho is seen as a player who could thrive in North London if given the right environment and consistent game time.
Crucially, insiders say United are “open to negotiations”, especially if Spurs table a permanent bid. While a loan move has not been ruled out, United are reportedly leaning toward offloading Sancho on a full-time basis to recoup part of their initial investment.
A fee in the region of £35-40 million could be enough to tempt United into selling, and Spurs are understood to be considering that valuation. Sancho has two years left on his contract, but his value has dipped due to limited appearances and off-field issues.
Why Spurs “Actually Stand a Chance”
Traditionally, direct deals between Premier League rivals like Tottenham and Manchester United have been rare and complicated. However, several factors are currently aligning in Spurs’ favor:
Sancho wants a fresh start, and a return to London — where he grew up — appeals to him.
Tottenham can offer first-team assurances, something United cannot guarantee.
Manchester United are under pressure to trim their wage bill and reshape their squad under INEOS leadership.
According to one club source: “Sancho is no longer considered untouchable. If Spurs are serious, this can happen.”
What’s Next?
Discussions are expected to continue in the coming days, with Tottenham pushing for a breakthrough before the end of July. If the deal materializes, it would be one of the most dramatic intra-league transfers of the summer.
Sancho himself is said to be open to the idea, though personal terms and assurances about his role will be key.
One thing is certain — this is a story that could transform Tottenham’s season and offer Sancho the lifeline he desperately needs.
