Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is working hard to get back to his full fitness, The Times report.
Sancho began the 2022/23 season strongly, only to fade and miss out on the England squad for the World Cup.
United invested heavily in Sancho in summer 2021, finally signing a player the club had been keen to sign for years.
Here is a look at the facts and figures you may need to refresh, regarding United’s financial commitment to the winger, including transfer fee and salary…
Jadon Sancho transfer fee
Manchester United agreed to pay Borussia Dortmund a fee of £72.9 million to sign Sancho, The Telegraph reported.
Solidarity payments to pay to Manchester City (£1.46 million) and Watford (£2.19 million), Sancho’s former clubs, are included as part of the deal.
United are paying the fee in instalments over five years, The Athletic report.
How much money is Jadon Sancho on
The Athletic report details of Sancho’s salary are ‘closely guarded’, while fitting into United’s wage structure.
Spotrac report Sancho earns £350,000 per week and £18.2 million per year.
However, The Mail reported United player salaries would reduce by 25 per cent for failing to qualify for the Champions League in 2022/23.
This would set Sancho’s earnings for the season to £262,000 per week and £13.6 million for the year.
Jadon Sancho contract length
Jadon Sancho is under contract at Manchester United to 2026, and the club have an option to extend this deal to 2027.
Who is Manchester United’s best paid player
Sancho’s earnings are below Manchester United’s best paid player, goalkeeper David de Gea, who is on £375,000 per week, prior to reduction.
Cristiano Ronaldo was previously on the highest salary at £480,000 per week.
