Football Insider says Sancho rejected Getafe offer

Jadon Sancho has turned down Getafe's offer, according to Football Insider. The outlet does not identify a source for the reported decision. Its account changes the picture from Getafe awaiting his answer to a claimed rejection, but leaves the decision unconfirmed.

For West Ham, the article describes no offer or talks from the club. Former scout Mick Brown told Football Insider a move could happen if Sancho would accept Championship football and a wage cut. That is Brown's view, not evidence that West Ham have made a move.
