Literally everyone-
Real could spend after not doing it for an year and they need a right sided player to compete against their kid - Rodrygo.
Chelsea - they could upgrade CHO based on how this season goes.
City - Aguero's last year and Sancho could very well play through middle.
Barca - Suarez ,Dembele and Coutinho could leave and they are going to sign someone.
PSG - let's conveniently assume Sancho wouldn't go there.
Feck 20m if he is as talented as everyone think and just pay it off. It's just not worth it. If we dont get CL next season (going by our points this season, its probable), then he wouldn't come to us.
Yes but all these clubs wouldn’t make us back down from competing with them all. Also, Sancho wants to come back to England. Let’s say he can be convinced otherwise, most of these aforementioned clubs are also reaching a point where a rebuild is needed except Chelsea.
But knowing our project is young and promising, Sancho will have an equally hard time rejecting us and the wages we’ll offer. We’ve done it before with Sanchez and this time we’ll be taking such a risk on a 20 year old generational talent.
It’s not all that bad to wait a year if we really have to. I see us getting him this summer only but just putting things into perspective for you.
Also - just for arguments sake, Real, City & Barca would make least sense anyways. Real want Mbappe, also safe to say Sancho will never pick city over us or chelsea even. While Barca can have an easier time saying they’ll conveniently move on Coutinho, Dembele and suarez and buy Sancho all in one window but it’s easier said then done. They couldn’t move Coutinho last summer for Neymar and can’t seem to make room for Martinez this summer either. I also agree that he’ll never go to PSG even if they did have space for him after selling Mbappe.
Any club that enters the race next year will have a tough time matching our financial package for Sancho to begin with. You can also add our project being more promising then others with a young core that will be successful for the next decade potentially and not a couple years or so before needing the rebuild I was talking about.
