However, there are still suitors keen to add the winger within their ranks during the summer transfer window.
According to transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio, Juve are the latest interested party to swoop in for the England international.
The Bianconeri have started talking with Man Utd about a possible deal the last few hours.
This comes after Juventus' Serie A foes Napoli also expressed an interest for Sancho.
But unlike the Old Lady, the Italian champions are speaking directly to the player's camp.
Juventus have been keeping tabs on the ex-Borussia Dortmund star since last summer.
The Turin giants expressed an interest before the forward moved to Chelsea on loan.
Sancho is looking for a fresh start amid his ongoing struggles at Old Trafford.
Napoli have already helped one of his former United team-mates turn his career around.
And that is none other than Scott McTominay who helped Antonio Conte's side win the Scudetto.
