Sancho deal edges closer

Manchester United are stepping up their bid to re-inforce attacking options ahead of next season by pricing English sensation, Jadon Sancho, from Borrusia Dortmund, Daily Times have gathered.

Sky Sports News reports that both clubs have entered into advanced talks in a bid to hash out the final kinks of Sancho’s return to Manchester.

Whereas United have agreed in principle, personal terms with the electrifying winger, Borrusia Dortmund have remained unmoved in their £108m valuation of the player.

“At the moment, all parties are increasingly confident that a deal can be done for Jadon Sancho to become a Manchester United player. Personal terms are close to being agreed in principle, but I don’t think we should read too much into that because United are one of the richest clubs in the world.

“They will have no problem paying what Sancho is asking for, but what is proving a problem is paying what Borussia Dortmund are asking for. Dortmund are well within their rights to ask for as much as possible, and they’re asking for €120m – so about £108m.

“United don’t want to spend that much money on Sancho, especially because they’re the only club in talks to sign him at the moment, so why should they pay over the odds? But Dortmund are sticking to their guns.

“What is happening now are discussions about the structure of the deal. Talk about instalments and down-payments is nothing new, but that is what’s being discussed at the moment. United are trying to be sensible by not spending too much money.

“But there is an expectation that the deal is going to be done. If you’re a Manchester United fan, it’s a case of being patient.

Sancho, who played as a youth player for Manchester City before moving abroad could be returning to Manchester; this time, not as an anonymous amateur, but as a prized asset.

Jadon’s capture could make a huge boost to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attacking options ahead of next season as he looks to knock Manchester City and Liverpool off the Premier League summit with the trio of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood already raking 61 goals this season, the youngest trio to accomplish such a feat.
