Manchester United are willing to wait for Borussia Dortmund to sell £ 100 million Jadon Sancho asking for the price despite the interests of Real Madrid, Liverpool and City as they don’t want to pay the odds
- Borussia Dortmund is asking for £ 100m from the window for star Jadon Sancho
- Manchester United, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City want it
- United is the favorite to sign it but wants its asking price to drop
Manchester United will wait to move Jadon Sancho as they try to bring down the asking price of £ 100m from Borussia Dortmund.
United are the favorites to sign the English winger and bring Sancho back to the Premier League three years after leaving Manchester City for the Bundesliga.
Although there has been a rival interest between Real Madrid, Liverpool and City, Dortmund has not yet received any formal offers for the 20-year-old.
Manchester United will wait to move to Jadon Sancho because they want a lower asking price
Ed Woodward previously warned that football needs to be more realistic about taxes
Sportsmail understands that United is ready to give their time this summer to put pressure on the German club to reduce its demands for a player who only cost £ 10 million in 2017.
Old Trafford boss Ed Woodward has already warned that football needs to be more realistic about transfer taxes in the post-Covid era in direct response to speculation about Sancho and the £ 200 million Tottenham striker Harry Kane valued.
United has more money to spend than most clubs, but is not yet willing to pay the odds for Sancho.
They are aware that Real favors a move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz winger, while Liverpool has reservations about the amount of the fee for Sancho and his disciplinary record off the pitch in Dortmund.
Returning to the city remains an option, but Pep Guardiola has questioned whether he will be able to buy a replacement wing for Leroy Sane with other areas of the team that have priority.
Dortmund want £ 100m for the striker, but there are no formal offers for him yet
Sancho may still remain in Dortmund, but Borussia manager Lucien Favre admitted last week that the player could leave this summer and put him on the bench for Sunday’s victory over Leipzig’s Red Bull. Dortmund’s sporting director, Michael Zorc, insisted on the cause of fatigue, but admitted that the club is “worried” about Sancho in talking about a move to Old Trafford.
United are aware that being able to offer former Trainee Watford Champions League football could be an important factor in signing it, but sources say it is not a problem. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team currently follows Chelsea in fourth place by five points on the Premier League table.
Solskjaer wants more options on offense after extending Odion Ighalo’s loan until late January, with Sancho’s Jack Grealish and Aston Villa at the top of his list.
It is understood that Willian has been offered to United, although the 31-year-old Chelsea does not fit the mold of the young British player Solskjaer wants to recruit.
