After months of rumors, the Jadon Sancho transfer saga seems to be over. Manchester United are ready to pay the €120 million fee to sign the young English star. Likely due to COVID-19, the Red Devils would rather pay for the transfer in installments.
Jadon Sancho, Manchester United near agreement
According to reports out of England, Manchester United & Borussia Dortmund are in advanced stages of negotiations for a Jadon Sancho deal. The two sides are close to agreeing on personal terms, which are reported to be a five year deal.
Manchester United negotiations with BVB for #Sancho are now in ‘advanced stage’.
Man Utd always wanted to pay him using ‘add ons’ and ‘installments’ after virus. Still no agreement but talks on.
Personal terms are not a problem – his contract would be until June 2025. 🔴 #MUFC— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 3, 2020
Dortmund are asking for €120m ($141m) in return for Sancho, but may be willing to accept a deal that includes less money up front. However, the German club are demanding the offer be submitted by August 10th, when Dortmund are set to begin their pre-season campaign.
