Jadon Sancho’s transfer to Manchester United is agreed, according to German reports.
BILD report the deal is agreed at 85 million Euros (£73m) rising to 95 million Euros (£81.5m) in bonuses.
The report says ‘all that is missing is the signatures’ between the two clubs.
The report even says the deal could be officially announced on Thursday (tomorrow).
The Athletic report also that the deal has been agreed and Sancho has been given the green light to undergo a medical, although it does not state when this will be.
This transfer was unofficially confirmed last night by Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.
Rashford then deleted his tweet and claimed he had been hacked. But we all know he wasn’t.
United fans have been waiting for this deal for a long time and the end is nearly in sight.
The club deserve credit for getting it done relatively swiftly this summer, even if it should have been sorted out a year ago.
United have got their man in the end, for a far cheaper price too.
Jadon Sancho to Manchester United: A timeline
- August 2017
United expressed interest in signing Sancho from Manchester City. It proved too late as the winger pushed through a move to Borussia Dortmund
- October 2018
Sancho’s performances for Dortmund saw United linked with a move again. The reports said a future move would cost £100 million.
- June 2019
United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League ended any hopes of signing Sancho that summer. United signed Dan James instead.
- August-September 2020
United refused to pay Dortmund’s £108 million asking price. The club ignored Dortmund’s deadline and the German club refused to negotiate.
- June-July 2021
Dortmund finally accepted Sancho will leave. Negotiations were successful at last and the winger is a Manchester United player.
