Transfer News: Manchester United yet to table a bid for Jadon Sancho
According to transfer news from Tribal Football (h/t Express), Borussia Dortmund have revealed that Manchester United are yet to make an offer for Jadon Sancho.
This comes in the wake of news from last week (h/t Daily Mail) that the Red Devils had made an opening offer of €69.5m for the 21-year-old. That does not appear to be the case, with United yet to make their move.
It was touted that Dortmund would be willing to part ways with their star man for £72m. This too appears not to be the case with the Germans seeking around £82m for Sancho. This will make him the second most expensive transfer in United’s history. (h/t Express)
United have been linked with Sancho for some time now. We were close to landing him last summer but the interest came to nothing. A year one, Dortmund’s asking price may have come down but a deal is yet to be agreed.
Sancho enjoyed a good season at Dortmund, making 17 goals and 16 assists in 32 games. A strong end to the season saw the German giants qualify for the Champions League and also secure the DFB Pokal against RB Leipzig.
A stellar right-winger is someone United have been crying out for a while. Signing Sancho would undoubtedly strengthen us in the position, possibly securing the spot for years to come.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that while United have agreed on personal terms with Sancho, they are yet to reach an agreement with Dortmund. He went on to add that United continue to be in touch with Sancho’s camp and will resume negotiations with Dortmund in the coming days.
