Now, there have been reservations of Manchester United over the amount which they could sanction for the purchase of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. With German club, still, sticking to their €120m price-tag, Red Devils have played their own moves to reduce the demands.
"“Jadon is a brilliant player. It is obviously up to him.“I’ve seen him with England, I’ve seen his qualities and I feel like he’d be a great addition to any team.” (Jesse Lingard on his England teammate)"
United have a list of alternative targets to work on should financial constraints impede the Sancho deal from the conclusion. It is learnt that Manchester United have decided the first offer to Die Borussen for the English prodigy. Also, Champions League football for 2020/21 campaign could be a crucial factor in those negotiations.
The Athletic, in their recent story from Andy Mitten, have talked about Manchester United identifying Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman as the viable option to reinforce the wide attacking positions of the squad. In spite of Reds’ interest, Jadon Sancho continues to be their priority.
Citing contrasting reports from the German media regarding the Bayern winger, it could be another negotiation gimmick from the Man United chiefs to drop the value below the marked price for Jadon Sancho- who is keen to move away from Bundesliga in the coming months.
In spite of United stories suggesting the bosses looking at other options, the club is blessed with a stable revenue stream which has blessed them with the liberty to splash the fund cache even in the financial status quo.
As things stand, Man United will try to conclude the deal with Dortmund, who are already planning for replacements, to sign Jadon Sancho this summer. But, the deal could take time to get over the line.
Do you think Jadon Sancho will sign for Manchester United?
