Jadon Sancho could cost Manchester United £26.5 million less than Borussia Dortmund‘s earlier demanding price. Despite extensive talks, United were unable to conclude a deal for Sancho last summer.Dortmund set an asking fee of£108m, a sum that the Red Devils refused to pay. This led to the Englishmen slowing down their pursuit of the playeruntil his value has been reduced.

Even thoughthey missed outonthe attacker in the waiting game, this might change this summer, especially as a result of yet another strong campaign in the Bundesliga by the star. Sanchoparticipated in a total of 20 Bundesliga goals during the season. After the first difficult start of the campaign, Edin Terzic’s remarkable comeback led to Dortmund’s late sprint to qualify forthe Champions League and to win the DFB Cup.

However, after a reported big loss as a result of the COVID-19pandemic,the German giants are currently in a perilous position. While the club has the means to hold both its key players in Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland, if either one of them decides to leave Signal Iduna Park, they won’t stand in his way.
