25 Juventus are in talks with Manchester United over a deal to sign Jadon Sancho.
The England winger has also been subject to interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea.
It remains to be seen if Juventus will have the funds to buy Sancho outright, or if they will propose a loan with an obligation to buy further down the line.
However, Liverpool are making moves to sign a player Juventus could see Sancho being a replacement for, in turn meaning that the Italian club will have extra funds to offer United.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have made an initial approach to sign Juventus’ Federico Chiesa ahead of transfer deadline day.

Liverpool are understood to be exploring conditions of the deal for the Italy international, who has been linked with a move to United in the past.
The 26-year-old was a notable omission from the Bianconeri’s matchday squad for their Serie A clash against Verona tonight, with the forward not even included among the substitutes’ bench.
United supposedly want £40m for Sancho but only time will tell how much they will be offered by Juve ahead of deadline day.
Sancho accused of wanting Ten Hag sacked
Michael Owen has accused Sancho of not being in favour of Ten Hag keeping his job at United, so it comes as no surprise that the club are trying to move him on.
Speaking to Prime Casino, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News, Owen said:
“Jadon Sancho took a really risky move in many ways but almost an unavoidable one in going back to where he was to try to reignite that spark, and he’s done particularly well.
“I’m sure he probably would have preferred there to have been a change of manager at Old Trafford so it was a clean slate and he could come back and hopefully start again. I don’t know what his future holds, but he’s certainly gone away and proven that he can still cut it at the top level.”
