Manchester United were pushing ahead with a deal to sign Emiliano Martinez on deadline day before it all came crumbling apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Signing a new goalkeeper was a top priority for Manchester United<\/a> on the final day of the transfer window, and Ineos have made it happen with a \u00a317m deal for Senne Lammens agreed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lammens is set to join as Ruben Amorim\u2019s fifth major addition of the summer, but just hours before that deal was announced it seemed as though Emiliano Martinez<\/a> was the favourite.<\/p>\n

Jadon Sancho is set to join Aston Villa<\/a>, and it seemed as though he would be included as part of a deal that saw Martinez join the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

But now United have ended their pursuit of Martinez<\/a>, and it seems Jadon Sancho<\/a> is at the centre of it all.<\/p>\n

Ineos have been working all summer to try and offload Sancho, but he has refused several moves away as he clings on to his salary at United.<\/p>\n

Villa are paying 80% of Sancho\u2019s wages<\/a> during his loan spell in 2025\/26, but United would have much preferred a permanent deal.<\/p>\n

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano<\/a> has revealed that Sancho said no to a permanent move, and that is why the Martinez deal became impossible for United on deadline day.<\/p>\n

Speaking on GiveMeSport, Romano said: \u201cThe idea of Manchester United from what I\u2019m hearing was to do a permanent deal swap with Jadon Sancho and Emi Martinez.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot to involve any money basically with a valuation of around \u00a325 million for both players. But, at the moment, from what I\u2019m hearing, this is impossible because Sancho is only going on loan.<\/p>\n

\u201cSancho is not accepting a permanent move, so a loan deal to Aston Villa and for Martinez there are other options to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jadon Sancho has been the bane of Man United\u2019s window<\/p>\n

The summer window started with Sancho\u2019s move to Chelsea collapsing<\/a>, meaning United were stuck with him once again.<\/p>\n

The window has also ended with more drama around the 25-year-old, after he rejected several offers from around Europe.<\/p>\n

Roma were left frustrated at Sancho<\/a> after he snubbed their offer, and it seems he is determined to cling onto his wages at United for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Sancho\u2019s contract expires in 2026<\/a>, meaning he is set to become a free agent unless United choose to trigger his extension and look for a permanent sale.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, everyone involved at United will be glad to see the back of Sancho. Even in his final hours at the club, he managed to collapse a potential swap deal for Martinez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United were pushing ahead with a deal to sign Emiliano Martinez on deadline day before it all…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[18,27021,5277,19,17,20291,132],"class_list":{"0":"post-36533","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-emiliano-martinez","10":"tag-fabrizio-romano","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-jadon-sancho","14":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
