    ‘Sancho will prove worth in £100m Man Utd deal’

    Jadon Sancho will be “worth it” for Manchester United even if they have to invest “over £100 million ($131m)” in the Borussia Dortmund winger, says Dimitar Berbatov.

    The Red Devils continue to explore the option of bringing the England international back to his homeland in the summer transfer window.

    Little progress has been made in discussions to this point, with Dortmund making it clear that they will not be parting with a prized asset for anything less than his full market value.

    United had been hoping to bring costs down, with the coronavirus pandemic hitting even big-spending clubs down, but Bundesliga giants are prepared to stand their ground.

    Berbatov believes those at Old Trafford should now be paying whatever it takes to get a deal over the line.

    For him, Sancho would be a useful addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad, with there every reason to believe that an immediate return would be offered on United’s investment even if they are forced to dig deep.

    “Jadon Sancho would be an amazing signing for any team, United included,” former Red Devils striker Berbatov told Betfair.

    “It becomes a luxury problem to have so many attacking options, but it brings hard decisions. Someone has to be benched, and Ole will have to deliver that news to someone.

    “Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are well established in world football, and [Mason] Greenwood now deserves his chance to continue his progression, and I don’t want to see him stalled.

    “We know United can afford to pay for Sancho, and if it happens, the club will be happy, but it will also be tricky. Over £100m is a lot of money, especially now in the current situation, but I’m sure he will be worth it.

  • Man Utd prepared to walk away from Sancho deal

    Man Utd prepared to walk away from Sancho deal

    Manchester United are prepared to walk away from signing Jadon Sancho.

    Borussia Dortmund want £100m for the England international but United are not willing to go anywhere near that fee.

    There has been talk that Sancho has agreed personal terms with United, but those reports are believed to be wide of the mark as negotiations are still ongoing.

    And now multiple outlets in the UK are reporting United will start looking at alternatives if Dortmund don’t come to the table.

    It is believed United would be willing to offer £70m up front and then make up the rest with add-ons.

    However, Dortmund are holding firm on their demands and are happy to keep Sancho for another season.

    Negotiations have reached an impasse and United may now think it is time to look at cheaper alternatives.

  • Man Utd, Dortmund agree Jadon Sancho fee

    Man Utd, Dortmund agree Jadon Sancho fee

    Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement over a fee for Jadon Sancho, it has been revealed.

    The Independent says United and Dortmund appeared to be at a stalemate regarding the valuation of the 20-year-old, though an initial fee has now been struck.

    Dortmund are said to now be happy to take an initial £60m payment for the player, with a string of added on clauses which could eventually sky-rocket the deal.

    The Bundesliga giants appeared resolute in demanding £100m for the youngster, but the new deal is said to better suit United while appeasing both parties.

    Talks are still ‘between intermediaries’ and have not yet reached the official stage of formal negotiations.

    Sancho cost Dortmund just £7m from Manchester City in 2017, after he decided to leave English football in search of regular first team opportunities.

  • Dortmund give Man Utd deadline to complete Sancho deal

    Dortmund give Man Utd deadline to complete Sancho deal

    Borussia Dortmund have told Manchester United they have less than two weeks to close a deal for Jadon Sancho.

    The 20-year-old is due back in Dortmund on Thursday for the start of their pre-season training before the Bundesliga kicks off again in mid-September.

    Dortmund want any deal for the England international done by August 10 when they leave for a pre-season training camp in Switzerland, even though the transfer window will stay open until October 5, says the Daily Mail.

    But United will refuse to meet Dortmund’s current £110million valuation of the player despite preparing a move for the England international.

    Sancho remains United’s No 1 priority in the transfer window, but the Old Trafford side are yet to make a formal offer, with sources stating that reports in Germany of an opening bid of £89m being rejected are wide of the mark.

  • Man Utd to launch first Jadon Sancho bid

    Man Utd to launch first Jadon Sancho bid

    Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward plans to make an opening offer for Borussia Dortmund whiz Jadon Sancho next week.

    The Daily Star says should they beat West Ham and Leicester in their final two games, they’ll be back in the Champions League next term.

    And once qualification is secured, United will lodge a bid of £80m for the 20-year-old.

    Woodward will, however, adopt a tough stance in negotiations.

    Dortmund have made it clear that interested parties will have to meet their huge £100m asking price if they’re to allow Sancho to leave the Westfalenstadion.

    But United will insist on paying £80m with the club wary of breaking any transfer records due to the coronavirus crisis and how that’s impacted people around the world

  • EPL: Lampard rejects move for Jadon Sancho

    Chelsea boss Frank Lampard did not want to sign Jadon Sancho in January.

    The Blues are being linked with Sancho, along with Manchester United, in the summer transfer window.

    But Duncan Castles says that Lampard was offered the chance to sign Sancho and turned it down.

    “Chelsea, as we told you on the podcast, were very interested in signing the player in January,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast.

    “Frank Lampard did not think that was the right way to spend the club’s money and didn’t want to be associated with his first major transfer fee being for a player in a position that he’s already well covered for, so that didn’t happen.”

    Sancho is favorite to join Manchester United for a near 100 million fee, but he may also renew for Borussia Dortmund to stay for another season.

  • Chelsea to seal club record deal for 19-year-old winger

    Chelsea are set to beat Manchester United and Liverpool to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.

    The UK Sun reports that the Blues will land the England forward for £120 million.

    It would be a club-record fee for Sancho, who is one of Europe’s top young players.

    Chelsea are free to do business in the transfer market again, after successfully appealing against a FIFA-imposed transfer ban earlier this year.
