Since 18 months, Manchester United have been in contact with Jadon Sancho and Dortmund, for signing the English youngster. But with the COVID-19 pandemic, the scenario of the transfer market has changed more than anyone ever imagined, and its showing now. The Sancho transfer saga is finally heading towards its end and it isn’t good news for United, as Dortmund are reportedly demanding €120m, without add-ons.
Manchester United have received a message by BVB… €120m or you’ll not get Sancho. It’s up to Man Utd. Let’s see what they’ll decide. BVB will not accept bids like €80m+20+20 in four or five years.

Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano was at it again when he was asked about Sancho’s situation and Dortmund’s stance. He had earlier maintained that United were confident of having a deal in place after personal terms were agreed with the player. But in his latest tweet, he has clarified what is going to follow is either going to be elation or misery for the United fans.
Yesterday, in a bizarre interview with Dortmund manager Lucien Favre, the Sancho topic was brought up to which Favre was visibly upset. He said that “It is important that he stays with us, Jadon Sancho is of course a very good player but he must also have in mind that he still has a lot to learn.” Favre also added, “He needs to have better control of the ball, to do more headed flick-ons and to improve his defending.”
Sancho’s potential move to Old Trafford seems to be officially called off in a couple of weeks because of United’s negligence and Dortmund’s stance.
