Sancho to complete £73m United move
JADON SANCHO complete his £73million move to Manchester United by the end of this week.
The England winger has undergone a medical at United’s AON Training Complex, with the deal expected to be formally confirmed within 48 hours.
United agreed a fee with Borussia Dortmund for Sancho on July 1, subject to a medical and personal terms. Sancho, 21, has agreed a five-year deal – with an option for a sixth – worth around £250,000 a week and will report for pre-season training with United after a three-week break.
All United players involved at Euro 2020 will be handed an extended holiday, which means Sancho will not begin pre-season until August 2.
The new season starts 11 days later. Sancho is Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer’s second signing of the summer, after United brought goalkeeper Tom Heaton back to Old Trafford from Aston Villa on a free transfer.
While Sancho is likely to be United’s marquee signing of the summer, the club remains in talks with the representatives of Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
Varane, a World Cup winner with France, has only a year remaining on his current deal, but Real are understood to want £60m for him, with United only willing to pay £40m.
United are also considering a move for Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. The 18-year-old has three caps, and one goal for France.
Solskjaer’s spending power has been reduced significantly because of the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
