Jadon Sancho, English winger, 26 years old, is one of the targets of Atlético de Madrid for this summer transfer window. The player has become a free agent after finishing his contract with Manchester United, and the Madrid club is considering his incorporation to strengthen the attack without the need to pay a transfer fee.
According to Matteo Moretto, the Madrid team is assessing the feasibility of the operation while continuing to search for a winger capable of creating imbalance in one-on-one situations. Sancho's status as a free agent makes him a market opportunity, although his salary will be a key aspect of any negotiation.
Jadon Sancho fits the profile sought by Atlético de Madrid
The sports management of Atlético de Madrid maintains as a priority the incorporation of an attacker capable of generating advantages on the wing. In this context, Jadon Sancho emerges, a player with experience in the Premier League, the Bundesliga, and European competitions.
The Englishman comes from playing the 2025-26 season on loan at Aston Villa, where he participated in 39 official matches, scored one goal, and provided three assists, also contributing to the conquest of the Europa League with the team led by Unai Emery.

The possibility of bringing him in at no transfer cost allows Atlético de Madrid to allocate a larger portion of its budget to other positions, although the agreement will depend on the economic conditions posed by the player.
The end of his time at Manchester United
Jadon Sancho's spell at Manchester United ended this summer with his departure as a free agent. The winger arrived at Old Trafford in 2021 from Borussia Dortmund in a deal close to £73 million, but he never managed to establish himself as a key player in the team.
Between loan spells at Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, Sancho lost prominence in Manchester until the club decided not to renew his contract. In total, he played in 83 matches, scored 12 goals, and provided six assists wearing the Red Devils shirt before definitively closing his chapter at Old Trafford.
Atlético de Madrid is considering the next step
Currently, the interest of Atlético de Madrid is in an evaluation phase, and a formal offer for Jadon Sancho has not yet been disclosed. The absence of a transfer facilitates the discussions, although the salary of the English international and the competition that may arise in the coming weeks will be decisive factors in determining his future.
After ending his bond with Manchester United and completing his loan spell at Aston Villa, Jadon Sancho faces one of the most important markets of his career. If negotiations progress, the winger could become one of the reinforcements for Atlético de Madrid in the 2026-27 season.
