Jadon Sancho | £72.9M fee agreed

[JB7]

Always find it amazing that the journalists know how exchange rates work at this stage of negotiations and then immediately forget once the transfer happens.

If Dortmund had accepted the €78m/£67m offer it would forever and a day been reported as "a fee of £78m".

Just like when we inevitably agree to pay the €90m/£77m or so, it'll be "UNITED RECORD £90M SIGNING".

It’s such a shame that Citeh are going to get 10-15M from this deal. But hopefully we get this deal done this time.

Let’s hope this triggers a load of wingers moving and one of them ends up being Zaha - think we have a 25% sell on clause.

 

[united_99]

Looks like it will be done for around 90-95 mil € and payment period of 3,5 years.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

For anyone saying this will be wrapped up very soon I highly doubt it.

The Euro's start tomorrow and England play on Sunday. I cant see a transfer of this size being announced during a tournament and while the player is on duty.

The best we can hope for is a deal is "in place" and ready to be announced AFTER the Euro's.....So mid July.

They often announce it subject to medical. Which, if fee agreed with Dortmund is likely what will happen. These days, player terms will already be agreed. Then after the Euros United will announce the deal has been finalised.

So, Sancho then?

I don't see us letting this out if we weren't sure it would get done fairly soon

Seems the info came from Germany and we just confirmed.

we do. Can envisage him going for about £45m - so just over £10m which would mean we recouped what we paid for him.

 

[Volumiza]

So, Sancho then?

Who?

 

[MUFC OK]

Are you still living in 2020?

Well I mean Euro 2020 starts tomorrow, what have I missed? Think some confusion on my part regarding euros and pounds so apologies.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Smart first offer. Will be settled as expected around the 75 mark with some extras.

 

[ReallyUSA]

Not fecking now Glazers. Just pay the fecking 90.

 

[MUFC OK]

Would be lovely if we had something to celebrate tonight, rivals are worried by this and that's enough for me

 

[The White Pele]

I think £67m is a reasonable opening bid, assuming that we don’t want to go above £80m.

The positioning to Dortmund could be that we value Sancho at £67m but will go up to £80m to allow for the fact that 15% of this goes to City. Therefore Dortmund receive what we believe is a fair price.

 

[gorky_utd]

Who?

The big day is named after him.

 

[Bwuk]

Looking like we’ll probably settle at around 75m.

 

[hellhunter]

The big day is named after him.

I would argue he's named after the big day

 

[TrustInOle]

Moving alot faster this time round, which was to be expected. Feels fairly certain we will get him this year.

 

[nainaisson]

Who?

Sancho Panza, I think. Not sure.

 

[Judas]

This'll be done before England's first game I think. Dealio nearly doneio.

 

[Volumiza]

The big day is named after him.

Christmas Day?

 

[Volumiza]

Sancho Panza, I think. Not sure.

Aaaah, gotcha. Bid confirmed?

 

[Varun]

Not fecking now Glazers. Just pay the fecking 90.

Why?

 

[Volumiza]

Feels fairly certain we will get him this year.

Let’s hope that sentence doesn’t come back to haunt you

 

[Judas]

It would take something beyond even our capabilities for this deal not to happen at this point.

 

[theklr]

Think how the installments are made is paramount - less upfront now means more money for other targets

 

[Glorio]

Still rather high to me. Apologies for pulling another player into this but some folks here think selling Pogba will fetch us nothing more than £40 or so as he's entering the last year of his contract, I might be wrong, but is it not the same situation with Sancho? He's going into the last year of his contract, right?

 

[ChaddyP]

huge difference to last year where the british journos and international journos were at odds . They both singing same tune now

Still has two years on his contract and is considerably younger.

he has 2 years left. pogba has 1. Also pogba wage vs his makes a huge difference in overall money a club has to spend

You don't haggle with BVB. You come up with what they want, the deal is usually done.

So, we will keep increasing our bid until we get to the €90 + €5 add ons that they want and that will be that. It won't be much of a negotiation.

It's as if people have selective memory. We did this all summer last season. It's clear Dortmund are quite happy to keep him another year if we don't meet his valuation.

 

[ReallyUSA]

Why?

'
Because the team needs a CDM, CB, and possibly a RB, and Dortmund proved last year that they aren't going to move off their price. If we are going to get him, get him, and let's move the feck on instead of wasting time since the team only works on one deal at a time.

So all that paid upfront stuff was nonsense as expected.

Sounds like we are negotiating. Why haven’t we just paid the RRP?

 

[Idxomer]

So all that paid upfront stuff was nonsense as expected.

Of course, that almost never happens.

 

[Lemansky]

So all that paid upfront stuff was nonsense as expected.

Would be an idiot to believe it imo. No club pays an amount like that up front, especially in an pandemic.

What's repayment?

 

[alexthelion]

Think the "haggling" this time is over payment structure.

Always worth trying a lower bid first, though, you never know if they'll accept it or (most likely) not.

We’ll offer 4 years and 6 months next.
