Agent shuts down Liverpool, Chelsea talk as Man Utd close on €130m star A leading agent has seemingly shut down Liverpool and Chelsea’s hopes of landing Jadon Sancho, leaving Manchester United as the frontrunners for his signature. United have long been considered the favourites to snap up the England international, who has been on their radar for well over a year. Both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and transfer chief Ed Woodward feel the 20-year-old ticks all the boxes for what they want in a wide attacking player, having watched him take the Bundesliga by storm since moving to Germany in 2017. A report in the Daily Express claims that the Red Devils will hand Sancho the famous No 7 shirt, along with a bumper pay packet that would see him overtake David De Gea to become the club’s highest-earner. And a leading agent has now fuelled talk of a move to Old Trafford for the forward by shutting down the prospect of the player joining Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea, or Bayern Munich. Speaking to the South China Morning Post, the agent, who was un-named in the story, said: “No matter how good Sancho is, there’s actually a limited market for him right now. “Dortmund won’t sell to Bayern Munich, not just because they’re their biggest rivals but Dortmund are in a better financial position than when they sold players in the past like Lewandowski. “Liverpool are not in the market for £100 million players and they don’t need him. I’ve dealt with Klopp – they’d rather pay half that amount for a player a step or two behind Sancho who they think they can improve.” On Chelsea, the agent added: “I’ve read the Chelsea speculation and I’m convinced that it’s the agents ramping up the talk to try and create an auction situation which would suit them and Dortmund. “Chelsea will lose Pedro and Willian for nothing when the season ends. “Roman Abramovich is more about patching the squad up now than breaking transfer records. “They let Morata go and brought Tammy Abraham back on loan. They took Higuain on loan. They’re not going crazy any more.” Meanwhile, United striker Marcus Rashford has told boss Solskjaer exactly why he should pursue a big-money move for Sancho.

A leading agent has seemingly shut down Liverpool and Chelsea’s hopes of landing Jadon Sancho, leaving Manchester United as the frontrunners for his signature.

United have long been considered the favourites to snap up the England international, who has been on their radar for well over a year.
