    EPL: Jadon Sancho set to exit Manchester United for German side

    German side, Borussia Dortmund are ready to take Jadon Sancho back from Manchester United in January, ESPN report shows.

    Borrussia Dortmund have denied interest in bringing back the winger, but there are reports that they will accept it back if the price is right.

    A short-term loan for Sancho until the end of the season is most likely, however, Dortmund would still need United to pay part of his £300,000-a-week wage.

    The 23-year-old spent four years at the German club between 2017 and 2021 and remains in contact with coach Edin Terzic.

    United are willing to listen to offers for Sancho in January, with the club prepared to back Erik ten Hag over his strong stance on squad discipline.

    Sancho has not played for United since August after being banished from the squad as punishment for publicly disputing Ten Hag’s reasons for dropping him for the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on September 3.

    Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp speaks on new signing, Darwin Nunez

    Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has said that new signing, Darwin Nunez showed positive signs after making his debut for Liverpool in a pre-season game against Manchester United on Tuesday.

    Manchester United defeated Liverpool by 4-0 in a pre-season game in Bangkok to begin, Ten Hag’s journey as Manchester United’s coach.

    Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri all scored for the Red Devils as they coasted to victory in Thailand.

    Liverpool were already three goals down when Nunez came off the bench.

    The Uruguay striker almost pulled one back in the 87th minute, but blazed his effort over the bar from 10 yards.

    When asked about Nunez after the match, Klopp said: “He is a number nine and he can play on the wing as well. We will see where he will play.

    “But what you could see is the boys were already searching for him.

    “It was his third session (since arriving for pre-season training) and I think after the third sprint his lungs were nearly ready to explode.

    “We nearly killed him with these balls but he offered the runs and the boys wanted to pass the ball, that is for sure one of his strengths. He was dangerous, all these kinds of things.

    “So Darwin, we will see. I think his profile is a proper number nine so that’s helpful with speed and aggression and using his body, all these kinds of things.”

  • Jadon Sancho completes Man Utd medical

    Jadon Sancho completes Man Utd medical

    Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has completed his medical ahead of the completion of his £73m move to Manchester United.

    Although the 21-year-old has not been pictured arriving at the club’s Carrington training base, a blacked out van arrived there on Tuesday amid suggestions Sancho is putting the finishing touches on his highly anticipated move, says the Daily Mail.

    After completing the medical, Sancho is expected to go on holiday and rest up but he will only have three weeks off before joining up with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.

    United’s Premier League season kicks off on August 14, when they host Leeds at Old Trafford.

    Sancho, 21, leaves Dortmund with 50 goals in 137 matches for the German outfit, providing 64 assists as well.

  • Man Utd, Sancho reach agreement for January move

    Man Utd, Sancho reach agreement for January move

    Manchester United have told Jadon Sancho they’ll be back in three months’ time to try again for the Borussia Dortmund star.

    United finally gave up on getting the Borussia Dortmund star at the weekend as the Bundesliga club refused to budge on their valuation.

    United had offered £70million up front rising to £100m – but Dortmund wanted more up front and £108m overall.

    While Sancho, 20, wanted the move, he did not want to force the deal by publicly announcing his desire to leave, says The Sun.

    A public transfer request could have jeopardised his relationship with Dortmund if the deal did not go through.

    He has told close pals that he is convinced he will still end up being a United player with a deal revived in the New Year.

    The club have made it clear to the player that they will not turn their back on the move despite the problems they have encountered with Dortmund this summer.

  • Man Utd chiefs set fee cap to sign Jadon Sancho

    Man Utd chiefs set fee cap to sign Jadon Sancho

    Manchester United have set their price cap to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho.

    The Daily Star says United are willing to spend £80million on Sancho to end the transfer saga once and for all.

    The problem is, though, that that is still way short of the German giants’ asking price.

    Dortmund want £108m to let the England international depart the Westfalenstadion and are under no financial pressure to sell, despite landing Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland so far this year.

    United have looked at alternatives to Sancho as a result, with the club adamant they won’t be shattering any transfer records while the coronavirus crisis remains ongoing.

    United tried to sign Sancho in the summer transfer window of 2017, only for the forward to end up moving to Borussia Dortmund instead.

    And they also attempted to land him 12 months ago only for their failure to secure Champions League qualification to count against them.

  • Man Utd make progress on Jadon Sancho deal

    Man Utd make progress on Jadon Sancho deal

    Manchester United believe they have made progress in their negotiations to try and sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, according to Goal.

    The England international remains a priority target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the club have continued with discussions to sign the former Manchester City man despite the German club’s sporting director Michael Zorc insisting he won’t be moving anywhere.

    Though Dortmund continue to remain adamant they won’t sell, United still believe a deal isn’t completely dead after ongoing constructive discussions with an intermediary.

    Dortmund were believed to be holding out for a €120 million (£108m/$142m) fee for the 20-year-old, who has emerged as one of Europe’s top attackers.

    United are keen not to repeat any mistake they made with Alexis Sanchez when his huge wages upset the team’s structure and have been wary of that issue during talks.

    It is understood there has been some progress made with Sancho’s agent in terms of wages and fees.

    Man Utd, Dortmund find peace agreement over Sancho talks

    Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have agreed to resume talks for Jadon Sancho in a more respectful manner.

    The Bleacher Report says Dortmund have come to an agreement with United over negotiations for Sancho.

    The two clubs have agreed to adopt a ‘respectful manner’ in talks after months of speculation over the 20-year-old’s future.

    The report goes on to state that United were aggrieved by the level of detail being leaked to the public during initial stages of discussions.

    While no deal for Sancho has been agreed as of yet, it is understood that the Premier League club could be reaching a more feasible stage of negotiations.

  • Sancho makes final decision on Man Utd move

    Sancho makes final decision on Man Utd move

    In-demand winger Jadon Sancho says he is happy at Borussia Dortmund and is enjoying helping some of the younger players develop at the Bundesliga club.

    Sancho has been linked with a move to a host of top clubs including Manchester United, but Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc says the England international is going nowhere.

    The 20-year-old left with his team for a pre-season training camp in Switzerland this week and on Wednesday played the first 45 minutes of Dortmund’s 6-0 victory over Austrian side SCR Altach.

    “I love playing with this lot. It’s a special bunch. We’ve got some special young players coming up,” said Sancho, who scored 17 league goals and set up another 16 last season

    “I’m really happy to share the pitch with them and guide them.

    “I joined when I was 17, some of the lads are the same age. I’ve been there and done that. I can guide them in what’s good and what isn’t. I can hopefully motivate them as well.”

  • Solskjaer responds to Jadon Sancho transfer talk

    Solskjaer responds to Jadon Sancho transfer talk

    Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refused to talk about rumoured transfer target Jadon Sancho after the Red Devils advanced to the Europa League semi-finals.

    United booked their spot in the final four of Europe’s secondary club competition after edging Danish opponents Copenhagen 1-0 in extra time on Monday.

    But attention turned to Borussia Dortmund star Sancho post-match amid ongoing speculation over the England international’s future.

    Asked about Sancho, Solskjaer replied: “I can’t comment on other team’s players, I can’t do that. You know that. I never do.”

    On the match itself in Cologne, Solskjaer said: “I am delighted that we’re through. I think we deserved to win tonight. It could have been one of those nights that you ended up with a penalty shootout. They made it hard for us.

    “It’s a good team we played against, well organised. They had a gameplan – we knew they were going to be hard to break down. We knew we would get chances.”

  • Dortmund’s Sancho off to pre-season camp amid transfer speculation

    Dortmund’s Sancho off to pre-season camp amid transfer speculation

    Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho left with his team for a pre-season training camp in Switzerland on Monday amid ongoing speculation of a possible transfer to the English Premier League (EPL).

    The 20-year-old England international, who has a contract with the German club until 2022, had a stellar season with the Bundesliga runners-ups.

    He has been reportedly targeted by several top clubs, including Manchester United.

    Sancho scored 17 league goals and set up another 16, with Borussia Dortmund saying they would only let him go if their price expectations were met fully.

    Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for Sancho but media reports say the club may have balked at Borussia Dortmund’s valuation of around 120 million euros (141.24 million dollars).

    That will make him the Bundesliga’s most expensive transfer ever and would see the German top division lose arguably its most exciting young player.

    On Monday, however, Sancho flew with his team to Switzerland for the start of their pre-season training.

    Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus and defender Marcel Schmelzer stayed behind to recover from injuries.

    It is unclear when Reus, who has been sidelined for months with a groin injury, will be able to return to training.

    The Bundesliga season starts on Sept. 18.
