Next January the earliest to sign Sancho.
We should go on and sign a RW. Maybe we should go for someone cheap (Brooks?) or who could play in different roles (ex Zaniolo or Coman) but we can't afford not buying a RW.
Unfortunately, United is not a wise player in the market when no competition is places. As a loner we usually get robbed for tons of money, period. Not that we are noted for winning when competing with rivals for one signature, but I do believe we are able to get in better positions in negotiations. "We can do things in the market...", in a sense in which we can match almost every offer (disregarding PSG). With millions on the low for many, we can get even a better deal than the kind of the rumored one (Big chunk at first, instalements, obvious performance add ons).
If a bidwar were to unfold next summer, we could easily outbid the best offer and it will no doubt be less than this year, is not a bad piece of business, if you look at it.
Wouldn`t he rather just wait out one year then instead of agreeing a contract with us? Dortmund seems to be a very good club and they would like to keep him as well.
He wants to come home and let's face it, the Bundesliga is not a top league either
it's briefing games. all the talk about us having a personal terms deal with sancho and BVB's response is "if you walk away, we'll double his contract and you'll have to pay him even more next window". BVB haven't said they will double his wage, they have told the media they will, just to spook MUFC's personal terms.
Imo we should look for a loan and see what's next. Jason is still very young and I don't think he'd sign a new deal. Another year and he'd leave on a free with a huge contract wherever he goes. And imo Dortmund is just trying to bluff with the new deal story. Sancho is reportedly on £190k a week at Dortmund and is already one of the highest earners there. Giving him, a 20 yo kid a huge raise will not only break their wages structure but unsettle the likes of Reus etc. as well.
According to Bild, they want to raise his salary to 10m/yr in case Ed doesn't cough up the money. They did the same thing with Lewa back then.
I know in the end he left on a free to Bayern but did they actually offer Lewan that new deal?
He's already on 10m/yr last year. Did you not click the BBC link that I posted?
He's currently at 6m. I'd trust Bild more than the BBC in things concerning german clubs.
I had a look around and you seems right I think. Most papers in English say £190k a week but most people in the forums say €6m. Well that simply put this saga on a whole new perspective I think.
I really don't think he'd be so bothered by sticking around for another year to potentially have more options. If he was so desperate to leave, he'd be pushing for the move
we got a better deal on Bruno and we ended up paying the asking prices for Maguire and Wan-Bissaka. The only deal we've walked from unsuccessfully was dybala.
Haha, good work fella.

The clubs have been negotiating for days now. If this was going nowhere, we would have moved on by now.
It won't be clear until we get him and at what figure we get him ,but one thing is certain once the deal is done both parties would leak transfer's fee's justifying their stance and claim vindication.
I'm at a loss for words that people aren't taking the piss. Clearly never watched Sancho properly or Zaha for that matter.Except us who would then have a poor-average winger for the 2nd time.
Seems obvious to me too. People could argue we should have just paid the money right away, but I get why we've done it like this, because why wouldn't you try and get him for less? To be seen to just giving them what they want wouldn't have been the best look, even if in the end we do.
How do you buy a player without an official bid? For example we bid £60 mill for Maguire and that was reported all over the media and leicester turned it down. If we dont make a bid then how are we showing we are after the player? If we just pay what they are asking, he would already be signed, then the next big name player we are after, his club will want £140 mill knowing we will just pay it.
Official bid is usually a formality and happens once you agree on the fee before that.
I think the only real chance of us walking is if we offer a total of 120m but BVB just won't budge on the semantics of how that is made up. If woodward wanted to pay a total of 70-80 million and BVB said no deal unless it's 120, we'd already have the dybala-type briefs.
We are literally there. In Dortmund’s HQ, negotiating for the player. I think they are aware of our interest.
