Report shares breakdown of Sancho’s United fee and when he could conduct his medical

Add as preferred source on Google

Jadon Sancho’s move to Manchester United is now just awaiting formal confirmation.

According to the Telegraph, that will likely come after the European Championship.

If England make the final, they’ll be in the competition until July 11. But of course they could be out by Saturday night, as they face Ukraine in the quarter-finals.

They have also provided a breakdown of the fee involved in bringing the wideman back to England and when he could do his United medical.

How much will United pay for Sancho?

They report that signing Sancho will cost United £76.55 million all-in.

£72.9 million is the fee United will pay to Dortmund, and then there are solidarity payments to pay to Manchester City (£1.46 million) and Watford (£2.19 million), Sancho’s former clubs.

The upshot in that Sancho will be the third most expensive signing in United history.

He’ll cost slightly more than Romelu Lukaku (£75 million) and less than only Harry Maguire and Paul Pogba.

The report also says Sancho will earn £250,000-a-week at Old Trafford. United agreed personal terms last summer, which is why the deal has moved more quickly this time around.

When is Sancho’s medical?

There hasn’t been any confirmation on that yet.

The report says he’ll only be able to do it after the European Championship.

So it depends whether United want to officially confirm the deal before Sancho’s medical.

Or whether they’ll wait until England’s involvement in the Euros is over, despite getting the ‘here we go’ which has got United fans excited.

A long-running United transfer saga has ended up with them signing a player who will be an England international for the next ten years for less than they were originally quoted. That’s to be celebrated.
