Jadon Sancho
Manchester United prefer to sign £80m-rated star over Harry Kane this summer
Manchester United prefer to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho over Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane this summer, The Mail reports. The Red Devils were heavily linked with Sancho last summer, but they refused to meet the £108 million valuation set by the Bundesliga outfit. They are likely to make a fresh approach in the coming weeks, with reports suggesting that the attacker could be available for a reduced fee of £80m. Kane has also been linked with a possible move to Old Trafford, but it appears that United are not planning to pursue the England international. The club recently committed Edinson Cavani to a new one-year contract, and they are satisfied with the performances of the Uruguayan. Hence, they are likely to prioritise a summer move for Sancho, and will attempt ...
Manchester United ‘most realistic destination’ for attacker with 36 goal contributions – report
Manchester United are in regular contact with Jadon Sancho’s representatives as they bid to sign him from Borussia Dortmund this summer, Sky Sports reports. The England international was fancied to join the Red Devils during last summer’s transfer window, but they refused to meet the £108 million valuation. Sancho enjoyed a superb 2020/21 campaign for Dortmund with 16 goals and 20 assists from just 38 games, and United are ready to make a fresh approach this summer. The club have been in talks with the player’s representatives, and personal terms are expected to be a formality if the transfer fee is agreed. Dortmund have yet to set an asking price for the attacker, but it is reported that a fee of around £80m could convince them to sanction his sale. With two years left on Sancho...
Manchester United step up Kingsley Coman transfer bid
Getty Images Manchester United have reportedly told Kingsley Coman they are ready to pay him £200,000 a week after tax. The Bayern Munich star has two years left on his contract but is yet to agree terms over a new deal. Bild claim Coman, 24, earns £200k a week before tax but ‘would like to have it in net’. United have apparently ‘indicated’ to the Frenchman they are willing to meet his demands – and make him their joint fifth top earner. But there is no guarantee of a quick transfer as Bayern are in no rush to make a decision on his future. And the Bundesliga champions will be able to demand a hefty fee with Transfermarkt valuing him at £58.5million. United are in the market for a new winger with Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo both top targets. Coman has long been linked and could be ...
Harry Kane tells Tottenham he wants to leave this summer
Harry Kane has reiterated his stance that he wants to leave Tottenham this summer. The 27-year-old has grown frustrated over the club’s inability to compete at the highest level, having seen his side fall out of contention to secure Champions League football for next season. Spurs have long been reluctant to entertain bids for their talisman but the England captain is hoping that they will soften their stance after his long service to the club. Daniel Levy will demand a huge fee for Kane – who prefers a move within the Premier League – as he is on a long-term deal until 2024. Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are potentially viable destinations, although it is still unclear as to whether a move will materialise. All three of the aforementioned Premier League giants have signif...
Manchester United board in disagreement with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over Paul Pogba
Manchester United’s board and manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, are in disagreement over the future of Paul Pogba. The Mirror says with his contract at Old Trafford due to expire next year, attentions are starting to turn towards a possible new contract. Solskjaer wants the midfielder to stay at the club, having worked so hard to get him back to his blistering best. But it’s said that, behind the scenes, there’s a split in opinion. Some United board members are wary of meeting Pogba’s salary demands with the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, wanting his client to pocket £400,000-a-week. That’s just too steep at the current moment in time, particularly with the coronavirus crisis raging on and Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane being amongst their current targets. United are said to value their midfie...
Manchester United favourites to sign winger with 19 assists, could cost between €85-€90m
Manchester United continue to remain favourites to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho during the forthcoming transfer window, German outlet Sport1 claims. The Red Devils were heavily linked with the England international last summer, but a deal failed to materialised as they refused to meet the €120 million price tag. Sancho had a slow start to the current campaign, but he has still been hugely impressive with 16 goals and 19 assists from 36 appearances in all competitions. The 21-year-old recently starred in Dortmund’s 4-1 thrashing of RB Leipzig in the DFB-Pokal Cup final, registering two goals and one assist. It is now reported that United are still in pole position to sign the versatile attacker, and talks have already been initiated with his representatives. United have...
Edinson Cavani offered £50K pay rise to stay at Manchester United
Manchester United plan to keep Edinson Cavani at Old Trafford for the 2021-22 season by offering the striker a wage increase of £50,000, according to reports. The Uruguayan has cemented himself as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-choice striker during the second half of the 2020-21 campaign, playing a pivotal goalscoring role both domestically and in Europe – most notably in the Europa League semi-final tie with AS Roma, against whom he scored four goals over two legs. United do not have the option to extend the 12-month deal Cavani signed last summer, and it has been generally assumed the 34-year-old would return to South America this summer. However, Cavani can choose to add another year to his current deal, and according to The Sun, United plan to give the 34-year-old extra incentive to rem...
Liverpool reportedly eye move to sign in-demand €100m star in the summer
Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Jadon Sancho in the summer transfer window. According to German newspaper, Bild, Borussia Dortmund are ready to cash in on Sancho. The Bundesliga club could be willing to sell him this summer at the right price after considering the financial aspect due to the coronavirus pandemic. Last summer, Sancho was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but Dortmund refused to sell him for anything less than €120m. However, they are now ready to sell him at a discount, with a fee thought to be in the region of €100m. It has been claimed that Premier League duo – Chelsea and Liverpool – are interested in signing the 21-year-old winger, while United still remain interested. Sancho, once again, has been brilliant for D...
Former Arsenal chief reveals club were ‘very close’ to signing £88m Bundesliga star
In an interview with Goal.com, former Arsenal head of youth recruitment Steve Morrow has revealed that the Gunners were very close to signing Jadon Sancho before he joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017. The Gunners have missed out on several big-name players over the years. Their failure to sign the likes of Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo continue to be talked about. Morrow has now disclosed that the Gunners failed to pursue Sancho on two separate occasions. The club initially tried to sign him in 2015 when he was an academy graduate at Watford, but he joined Manchester City. After a couple of years, Sancho decided to pursue a fresh challenge in the bid to secure regular first-team football. The Gunners were on the cusp of finding an agreement with the att...
Jadon Sancho happier at Borussia Dortmund after Manchester United transfer saga
Jadon Sancho says he’s feeling happy and settled at Borussia Dortmund. Sancho has insisted he has put his Manchester United transfer saga behind him and is “raring to go” again at Borussia Dortmund after scoring in the weekend win over RB Leipzig. The 20-year-old winger missed out on a summer switch to Old Trafford as United refused to meet Dortmund’s £108million asking price. “Obviously this season has been very difficult for me personally,” Sancho said. “So I knew when I went away, I just focused on my game and came back raring to go. “I’m working hard every day in training and on the pitch so I’m just happy to get my goals and assists.” After the match, Dortmund boss Edin Terzic discussed Sancho’s contribution and outlined his hopes for further improvement to come. “We spoke a lot but J...
‘World-class’ player could join Liverpool…but it will take ruthless decision from Klopp
Liverpool are now emerging as new favourites to sign Jadon Sancho next summer ahead of Manchester United, according to reports from the Independent. Manchester United made a genuine attempt to sign Sancho all summer, but they failed to get a deal over the line. It remains to be seen whether they will make another attempt next summer, but there is now a feeling that Liverpool could well move and secure his signature. Sancho looks set to spend the rest of the season at Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool are now a more likely destination for him than United. The England international, who has been hailed as ‘world-class’ by his current manager Lucien Favre, is a player Klopp admires. Back in February, Klopp had revealed Liverpool were interested in signing Sancho, but the R...
Report: Manchester United considering move for 17-goal attacker available at £36.2m
Manchester United are considering a move for Sevilla forward Lucas Ocampos as they look to strengthen their attack before the transfer deadline on Monday, ESPN reports. The Red Devils have experienced a disappointing summer transfer window and they have recruited just one player in midfielder Donny van de Beek from Ajax. The club are aiming to bolster their wide attacking options before the transfer window closes for international deals and it appears that Ocampos is on their radar. The Argentina international only joined Sevilla from Marseille last summer and he had a superb debut season with 17 goals and five assists in all competitions. Hence, he has reportedly caught the eye of the Red Devils and Sevilla seem open to selling him for a fee of around £36.2m (€40m) this summer. Ocamp...
