According to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is keeping an eye on Sevilla wideman Juanlu Sanchez, with Real Madrid also showing interest in the versatile forward.
Manchester United Is Scouting Juanlu Sanchez But A Deal Is Not In The Works
Reports from the Spanish press indicate that Manchester United and Real Madrid are scouting Sevilla youngster Sanchez. There have been suggestions that United has been in contact with the player’s representatives.
However, Romano suggests that there is currently nothing substantial to report on regarding a potential deal for Sanchez, as both Man Utd and Madrid are in the early scouting stages. Romano shared in his Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside:
“One name coming up as well as Eze is Sevilla winger Juanlu Sanchez, mentioned as a target for the Red Devils and also for Real Madrid in the Spanish press. For now, however, there is nothing concrete about it.
“We’ve had many links every day but the reality for the moment is that there are no talks, no negotiations – it’s just normal scouting and nothing else.”
Who Is Juanlu Sanchez?
Born in Montequinto on August 15, 2003, Sanchez began his footballing journey with CD Los Caminantes and CD San Alberto Magno before making his way through Sevilla’s youth ranks. Known for his versatility, he can play across the right flank and in central positions.
After signing his professional contract with Sevilla in July 2022, Sanchez was loaned to CD Mirandes for the 2022-23 season to gain more experience. Upon his return, he became a key player for Sevilla, featuring in 43 games across all competitions, scoring twice and providing three assists. His contract with the club runs until June 2026.
Sanchez has also represented Spain at the youth level, winning Gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Despite his success, he is yet to make his senior debut for La Roja.
