Football Italia revealed a shocking surprise, indicating that Manchester United star Jadon Sancho's decision to reject an offer from Italian club Roma may be linked to his rumored romantic relationship with famous American rapper Sweetie.

Roma's management had seriously moved to finalize the deal in recent weeks, as sporting director Ricky Massara traveled to London this week to hold direct talks with the player's agent, who also represents Chelsea's Tariq George.

According to the source, Roma made an official offer to Manchester United worth €23 million to acquire Sancho, along with an annual salary offer of around €6 million for the player, who is in the final year of his contract with the Red Devils.

Despite the seriousness of the offer, Sancho did not give his final approval, prompting Roma to consider other options before the end of the transfer market.

According to what was published by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the romantic relationship between Sancho and Sweetie began in late last year, and it is believed that the player travels to see her three times a month, which made him hesitant to move to Roma.

The Italian newspaper goes further, indicating that Sancho is seriously considering leaving Europe to move to the United States, complicating his chances of transferring to Roma or Borussia Dortmund, who were among the main interested parties in acquiring him.

As the transfer market deadline approaches, Sancho faces the risk of being excluded from coach Ruben Amorim's list if no agreement is reached for his departure before the end of the summer transfer period.
