Atletico Madrid is actively pursuing the signing of Jadon Sancho, the 26-year-old English winger who is currently a free agent after his contract with Manchester United ended. The operation is still on the table in Atletico Madrid's transfer market, with the player's salary being one of the points the sports management needs to adjust.

Sancho can join without a transfer fee after his contract with United expired on June 30th. Atletico has already made moves to assess his conditions and continues to see the Englishman as an option to strengthen the squad with a winger before the market closes.

Atletico Madrid persists in pursuing Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho became a free agent five years after joining Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund. The English club paid about 85 million euros for his transfer in 2021, but his time at Old Trafford ended without the continuity he had previously enjoyed in Germany.

His status as a free agent completely changes the deal. Atletico Madrid would not need to negotiate a transfer fee and could focus the expenditure on the signing bonus, salary, and contract duration.

The contract duration is crucial. Sancho was one of the highest earners at Manchester United, and he would need to adjust his demands to fit Atletico Madrid's financial structure for a deal to be reached.

Moreover, the attacker had a disappointing offensive season in 2025/26 while on loan at Aston Villa, scoring just one goal, after previous loan spells at Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho seeks a team as a free agent

Manchester United confirmed in June that Sancho would definitively leave the club at the end of his contract. Since then, the player has been considering different options to continue his career without requiring a transfer fee.

Borussia Dortmund has also shown interest in re-signing the winger. Sancho had two stints at the German club and achieved his best numbers there before moving to United.

For Atletico, the interest reflects the search for a player capable of playing on either wing. Diego Simeone already has offensive alternatives but the sports management is open to adding another piece if a financially suitable deal can be found.

Atletico Madrid has the advantage of zero transfer cost

Signing Sancho would have an immediate advantage: zero transfer cost. The club has made significant investments this summer, and bringing in a free agent allows strengthening the squad without additional payments.

However, the deal will depend on personal terms. With no negotiation between clubs, any progress depends on reaching an agreement with the player and his representatives regarding salary, signing bonus, and contract duration.

Atletico Madrid will continue working on this in the coming days. With Jadon Sancho available as a free agent, the next step is to see if both parties can align their financial positions to turn Atletico's interest into a final agreement before the market deadline.
