Spanish club Getafe have made a formal offer to sign Jadon Sancho, the 26-year-old winger who left Manchester United as a free agent.

Getafe have made a formal offer to sign Jadon Sancho, the 26-year-old former Manchester United winger. Sancho has been without a club since his contract at Old Trafford expired in the summer.

Sancho originally joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund for £73m in 2021. He spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, making 39 appearances as the club achieved Champions League qualification. During his five years at United, he also had loan spells at Dortmund and Chelsea. Chelsea's loan deal in the 2024-25 campaign included an obligation to buy, but the club paid a £5m penalty to send him back to Old Trafford after 41 appearances.

Getafe are 14th in La Liga and play in the Europa Conference League this season. Sancho is said to favour a move away from England but remains open to all options, though an agreement is described as complicated. Getafe have recently strengthened their squad, signing former Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal on a free transfer after his contract at the Bernabéu expired in June. The 34-year-old right-back has signed until June 2027.
