Manchester United transfer news: Transfer fee a stumbling block in Jadon Sancho Manchester United deal
However, the reports covering the Jadon Sancho transfer also revealed that the Jadon Sancho transfer deal is far from reaching its completion. The difference between the transfer fees for the Jadon Sancho transfer is rumoured to be the reason for the same. Transfer expert Ian McGarry giving an update on the Jadon Sancho transfer revealed that the Red Devils have decided that they are not willing to pay more than £50m for the Jadon Sancho Manchester United deal.
The valuation by the club could prove to be a stumbling block in the Jadon Sancho transfer as the rumoured figure is less than half of Dortmund’s valuation of the player. Press reports covering the Jadon Sancho transfer have reported that Dortmund will consider a Jadon Sancho transfer fee of around £115 million for the player. The club’s chief Michael Zorc revealed recently that Dortmund are confident of holding onto Jadon Sancho as they don’t expect anyone to meet their expectations when it comes to the Jadon Sancho transfer fee.
The Jadon Sancho transfer promises to be one of the most intriguing transfer sagas this season. The player’s value has been boosted by his tremendous performances for Borussia Dortmund this season. Sancho scored a mammoth 20 goals for Dortmund this season, while also going on to assist another 20, in what has been Dortmund's highest-scoring Bundesliga season. While agreeing personal terms is a step in the right direction, it remains to be seen whether the Jadon Sancho Manchester United deal will actually go through due to the differences in the club’s valuation of the Jadon Sancho transfer fee. Considering Sancho is just 20, Man United will have to cough up considerably more than £50m, even after taking into account the financial uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
