Manchester United are willing to spend £70m to sign a teenage winger, while Gareth Bale has made a decision on his Real Madrid future, according to Saturday’s newspapers.
UNITED MOVE FOR £70M SANCHO
Manchester United have made an approach to Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho – and will not be put off by the Bundesliga side’s £70million asking price for the teenager.
Sancho has been a revelation since ditching Manchester City for BVB, scoring eight goals and creating 10 others from 28 appearances this season.
According to The Sun, United have contacted Dortmund to ask about the possibility of bringing the 18-year-old back to the Premier League – and have not been deterred by their apparent £70m asking price. But any move for Sancho would see rivals City would take 15% of any transfer fee as part of the agreement that took him to Germany.
However, if they do accept United’s bid, City will be given the chance to match the offer, with the transfer also including a buy-back clause granting Pep Guardiola’s side first refusal.
But with City loaded up on wingers, United could find themselves in the driving seat to land a player clearly destined for big things, with the winger also having made his senior England debut this season.
