I'm sorry but may I ask where you are getting your numbers from? I will go out on a limb here and assume that you wrote that from memory? Just to remind you, Sancho right now is not quite 19.5 years old. At that age Neymar has had 79 games in Brazil scoring 36 goals and assisting an additional 21. That is counting league games and Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana. On top of that he had 9 caps for Brazil scoring 5 goals and assisting 1 but in fairness to Sancho there was an international Tournament (Copa America) that year, which inflates those numbers a bit.
Bit rude Anyway Its on his wiki page and backed up by him breaking Robinho Santos record. I imagine you used transfermarkt? Unfortunately they missed some as Neymar netted a Hatrick to get his 95th for Santos whilst only 20 and take the record in 2012. He already had over 80 goals by 2011 end and was born in 1992 making him 19. You can research the Santos competitive record if you like
You probably are counting goals scored in the Campeonato Paulista. It's a regional tournament played in the beginning of the calendar year that is more akin to a preseason than anything else (but with a lot more games played). There are a lot of teams from the lower tiers of Brazilian football in those tournaments so the top teams score goals galore. Just so you know, Pelé scored a whopping 466 goals in this competition alone.
You are right, it was a bit rude, I apologize. I was just really confused as to how you came up with your numbers. That explanation by @Le Red sounds plausible, so maybe we can reach an agreement based on that. I feel like it doesn't really make sense to compare Neymars numbers when he was 20 with Sancho at 19 now and complain that he hasn't played as many matches or scored as much though. As you presumed I used the transfermarkt statistics and basically looked at it by the day as to compare their records at Sancho's current age. The numbers are in my previous post, do with them what you will
Santos' region has some of the biggest teams in Brazil participating aswell as multiple Serie A and B sides. Please note that Pele became a GOAT tooYou are right, it was a bit rude, I apologize.

I can't believe you read anything by Don Balon. Absolute fecking tripe
Yet the same source you mentioned had an article saying the absolute opposite only a month or so ago. What absolute rubbish, I wouldn't give them any credence especially regarding this.
Don Balon are even worse.
I'd say they are the equivalent of Indykalia.
I should know that right? I grew up watching the tournament. Believe me, the level is nowhere near the Bundesliga so it's unfair to use Neymar's goals in this competition to compare against Sancho.Santos' region has some of the biggest teams in Brazil participating aswell as multiple Serie A and B sides.

Seriously in what world is Sancho the answer for Real Madrid if they have this blunder of a season you're referring to? I mean honestly of all the statement signings Real Madrid could make to detract attention away from results - Pogba, Neymar, Mbappe, Salah, Mane.
Why would he choose them if both clubs are in the Champions League?
I don't see him returning to City, and Chelsea are no longer spending huge sums of money on players. I think we're the only realistic destination for him in the Premier League given the reported fee and wages.
Chelsea had the money and with the transfer ban + sales from Morata, Hazard, loan players they have at least £200M at minimum. The reason Chelsea will go for Sancho is because they need a new wingers to replace both Willian and Pedro. Sancho is also Chelsea fan and his best mate Hudson-Odoi also at there too.
True.
But you will say that if United have a ‘blunder of a season’ they have ‘no chance’ I imagine.
Wonder why Liverpool would want him, they already have two of the best wingers in the world.
Vazquez and Bale will surely be gone next summer and Brahim is far from the finished article. No idea about Rodrygo but Hazard/Sancho/Vinicius looks pretty tasty.
He won't fix it but he'll be sort a problem position that's been there for the best part of 10 years
And we won't get anywhere near that with 100m either.
We need a RW before we need a "forward" we actually do not even have a RW in the squad
he won't fix it completely but he'll sure as hell help it.
Wait you actually think Dortmund is gonna make use pay 100M?
Phil Jones. The next duncan Edwards.
I think he will probably choose from
