Jadon Sancho to Man Utd transfer to pocket Man City £11m if Borussia Dortmund demands met
Manchester United will reportedly have to pay a little over the amount they spent to land Harry Maguire two years ago in order to sign Jadon Sancho this summer, according to reports. Borussia Dortmund are said to have demanded £81.5million to release the winger, and that would see Manchester City pocket £11m as a result.
United are eager to land the England international having tried and failed to sign him a year ago due to Dortmund’s £108m valuation of the attacker.
The 21-year-old will become United’s second-most expensive addition of all time if the Red Devils pay over £80m, less only than the amount they gave Juventus to bring Paul Pogba back to Manchester.
But Dortmund’s reduced demands mean they will no longer have to break their £89m club transfer record to sign Sancho, their top target for the upcoming window, which opens on Wednesday.
The Daily Mirror say that is because Dortmund will accept £81.5m for the player, who ended the 2020-21 season with 16 goals and 20 assists across all competitions.
Sancho, currently preparing for Euro 2020 with Gareth Southgate’s England squad, has already agreed personal terms with United over a move to Old Trafford.
