Roma shifts focus to young Chelsea winger as Sancho deal fades

Roma's pursuit of Jadon Sancho appears to be on the verge of collapse, with the Italian club now reportedly focusing on another target. The Giallorossi's sporting director recently traveled to London for a face-to-face meeting with Sancho's agent.

While the meeting has concluded, sources indicate that Roma is waiting for a final response from the player but is not "nurturing great hopes" that an agreement will be reached. This sentiment suggests that the club is preparing to move on after the talks failed to produce a breakthrough.

However, the trip to England served a dual purpose for Roma's director. Since both Sancho and Chelsea's Tyrique George are represented by the same agent, the director used the opportunity to continue negotiations for the young forward.

According to reports, Roma is actively working to complete a deal for the promising Chelsea attacker. While the high-profile transfer for Sancho seems unlikely, the club is determined to strengthen its squad, with George now appearing to be a more realistic and active target.
