Manchester United will pay the more significant chunk of Jadon Sancho’s salary when he moves to Borussia Dortmund on loan in the coming days.
According to Football Insider, Manchester United will keep paying the majority of Jadon Sancho’s £250,000-a-week wages when he moves to Borussia Dortmund on loan. The Red Devils will foot around £150,000-a-week for the 23-year-old winger, with the German side covering the rest until the summer.
Jadon Sancho to rejoin Borussia Dortmund?
Manchester United were intent on letting go of Jadon Sancho despite the significant investment riding on the 23-year-old winger. The Red Devils paid Borussia Dortmund £73 million in 2021 to sign the attacker, but things have gone sideways for all parties.
A rift between Sancho and manager Erik ten Hag never saw a resolution, and now, after being blown out of proportion, the winger will leave the club. Borussia Dortmund readily showed an interest in bringing the 23-year-old back to the club and have since held advanced negotiations with Manchester United.
Things have progressed on that front as Sancho is all set to join Dortmund and their squad in their training camp in Marbella. The report states the Bundesliga giants will sign him on a loan deal until the summer, and after that, they could re-sign him permanently for a reported £26 million.
That’s a staggering price drop from the £73 million Manchester United paid two-and-a-half years ago, but Dortmund will likely take the deal. Sancho is looking forward to rekindling an old affair as he looks to get his career back on track after the debacle with Ten Hag.
Manchester United to keep paying the majority of Sancho’s wages?
As per the report, Manchester United will keep footing a significant part of Sancho’s £250,000-a-week wages. The story insists the Red Devils will pay the 23-year-old £150,000-a-week, while Borussia Dortmund will cover the remainder £100,000-a-week.
The decision probably shows how desperate Manchester United were to see the back of Sancho. However, if Dortmund end up signing the 23-year-old on a permanent basis in the summer, they will likely ask him to take a massive pay cut that suits their pockets.
Whether Sancho will agree to that remains the question, but in all this debacle, Dortmund is getting the best deal possible. Manchester United’s decision to agree on a £26 million buy option may bring in criticisms, as well as a significant dent in their financials, as they will post a massive loss on their investment.
