Manchester United in advanced talks for Jadon Sancho
According to transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Borussia Dortmund sensation Jadon Sancho.
He also went on to add that the German giants have named their asking price for the 20-year-old – a whopping €120m.
The main takeaway has to be the confirmation that Sancho is keen to leave. If a deal is agreed on the aforementioned amount, it will make him United’s most expensive signing ever.
It comfortably shatters the current record held by Paul Pogba, who joined the club in 2016.
Sancho has been in phenomenal form for Dortmund this season. He has scored 20 goals and 20 assists in 44 appearances as he continues to enhance his reputation.
One of Europe’s most sought-after youngsters, securing his signature will be nothing short of a coup for United.
United have shown much promise this season. However, the loss to Chelsea on Sunday illustrated we still have ways to go before we can challenge at the top of the table.
The Blues, for their part, are pursuing an aggressive recruitment drive that has already seen them sign the likes of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. German sensation Kai Havertz is also closing in on a move to Stamford Bridge.
We cannot afford to stay idle while the teams around us strengthen themselves. With clubs struggling financially, we must make the most of the opportunities that present themselves.
