Manchester United are said to be looking at the possibility of entering a financial arrangement with Borussia Dortmund on the transfer fee for Jadon Sancho, with the Premier League club having just one week to make the deal happen.
The Red Devils are planning an instalment financial packages with the Bundesliga giant that if agreed, will see them land their man and 20-year-old England international, Jadon Sancho.
According to the report by Dailymail quoting a German news outlet Bild, said Manchester United who are desperate to land Jadon Sancho, whose asking transfer fee by Dortmund has been put at £108million, will instead pay the amount in instalments. The Red Devils are willing to pay £63m now, before making two further payments of £27m and £18m over the next two summers.
If the winger ends up leaving for Dortmund’s pre-season training camp in Bad Ragaz on August 10, then the deal will likely fall through, leaving United without their No 1 summer transfer target.
Reports earlier this week suggested that the talks between the two clubs are still ‘between intermediaries’ and have not yet reached the official stage of formal negotiations.
There were also claims that former United flop Memphis Depay could play a big part in the deal, with Dortmund viewing the Dutchman as a suitable replacement for Sancho.
When he was at United, Depay struggled to make any sort of impact, scoring just seven goals in 53 appearances.
However, he has fared rather better for Lyon, scoring 14 goals this season, while he has also impressed on the international stage for Holland over the past couple of years.
Sancho is currently away on holiday following a long yet personally successful season with Dortmund. He scored 17 Bundesliga goals and provided a highly impressive 17 assists in 32 matches.
