It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

I am shocked.
Sane hasn't played barely a game for almost a year, whereas Rashford has come on a lot.
I wouldn't say anything for sure about Sane right now.
And the 90m will be upfront too, rather than over a few years.

It's on.
That is lower than I expected, thought his wage demands would be closer to 250k a week. With this and Fernandes being on 100k a week, I'm glad to see that we're no longer giving new signings absurd wages before they've shown anything for us.
And then sky sports will lazily throw around that we paid £200M any time he's referenced after the purchase
Pretty sure Bruno will get a new deal soon enough if he keeps this up.
Isn’t that partly what an agent is for though and effectively why they exist: so that the player can agree terms via a 3rd party without any direct contact with the prospective club?It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched
Kinda makes sense though, you have to sound out the player to make sure he actually wants to join. You don't want to agree a fee only to find out the player isn't interested in a move.It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched
Pretty much, you don't usually launch the bid until the agreement with the player is done in principle in these types of deals. Of course you get permission to speak to the player and the agent lets the selling club know the bid is in coming.It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched
Official bids are the last step in the process. United obviously been talking to Dortmund and player etc
Would be pointless launching a bid and having it accepted only to find out the player has no interest joining your club or their wages will be unaffordable
It’s on. Muppets; assemble 
Do you have any...insights?It’s on. Muppets; assemble
Haha, fair point as well!
For some of us in the Sneijder Saga Survivors group though, we have been battle hardened and ready to last till September!
Let's not forget Vidal too!
I'm still expecting this to drag on all summer, but lets see
Duncan Castles' reliability is rock bottom. He was kinda okay for Mendes/Mourinho stuff but even towards the end of Mourinho's time here he was very unreliable.
Yeah, but he's reporting things I want to hear so as far as I'm concerned he's basically tier 0.
I am a dreamer. I hope we get him
Waiting for Romano to go: total agreement, let’s go!
Do we unzip for this news? is it worthy

What the reliability of this? If this is true then we are probably getting him. Can't see why we would have agreed a salary if we are not ready to pay up Dortmund's asking price
Sure, prioritise Saka’s deal ahead of the biggest move in the transfer window, c’mon Duncan
It’s inevitable (Sancho signing)It’s on. Muppets; assemble
Tbf Saka's contract was more of a priority.
It's On, Like Donkey Kong?
It’s definitely on.
Isn’t Duncan hit and miss?
Bruno is on 100k? Insane transfer. Those who keeps saying Utd are clueless in transfers, should make a reality update. The committee thing works, thank God. There’s no need in Football Director.
To be fair Sancho's potential deal is likely to drag on for a while so it makes sense to get this out the way first.
Its time to get funky
If you listen to the podcast he also says he expects it to be a long drawn-out transfer as united won’t be prepared to spend huge money on him.
Is Castles even reliable outside of Mendes/Mourinho news?
Primed and reporting for dutyIt’s on. Muppets; assemble
I have to ask, is it actually legal to contact the player before a fee is agreed? Or can you do it in a sneaky way just to speed up when you agree the fee?
If it's true that Sancho has agreed terms, United will have the upper hand here, amongst other reasons i.e. COVID 19. If you have the player on side chances are he's coming to you.
I always thought Clubs aren't allowed to talk to players without permission from the Club the player is contracted to. Unless they're about to be out of contract.
I agree. Just not sure how much that guy really knows
