Manchester United are ready to sell Jadon Sancho in the summer but faces a significant obstacle should the winger prefer Borussia Dortmund.
According to HITC, Manchester United are open to letting Jadon Sancho depart for good, but will face multiple obstacles in selling the £73 million star. He’s currently on loan with Borussia Dortmund, and the German side are only interested in another season long loan with a buy option in place.
Manchester United ready to sell Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho took a different route than most English footballers when he joined Borussia Dortmund to start developing his game. He was tremendous for the Bundesliga side before Manchester United paid a hefty sum for the £73 million star two summers ago.
He has failed to replicate his form with Borussia Dortmund, and earlier in this campaign, he had a public fallout with Erik ten Hag, which saw the £73 million star banished from first-team activities. It took no time for the winger to leave Manchester United, as he made a loan move back to Dortmund.
Manchester United had earlier contemplated a return for the winger, although things in the background suggest they are willing to cash in on the £73 million star. They will undoubtedly expect to recoup a significant part of their outlay on the attacker, although clubs will be sceptical to pay a large sum.
Manchester United reportedly want £40-50 million for the winger should they sell him, and there are doubts whether any club will pay that much. Lowering the asking price might help them offload Sancho as things get more apparent in the summer.
Manchester United face Sancho’s obstacle
The report suggests Borussia Dortmund will talk with Manchester United about Sancho. The German side reportedly wants another loan deal with a buy option, and the Red Devils will only agree if there’s a buy obligation in place as part of the deal.
There are also costs for any suitor, considering Sancho remains one of the highest-paid players at Manchester United. Meanwhile, depending on how well Sancho performs for the Bundesliga side, they will not pay anywhere close to the £40-50 million asking price, as things could develop between now and the end of the campaign.
