Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd told when Sancho can sign and why €35m Liverpool target is key; Napoli chase Leeds man Transfer activity from Borussia Dortmund is set to nudge Jadon Sancho a crucial step closer to Man Utd, Napoli want a Leeds star and talk of a €50m Liverpool deal have been denied, according to Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk. MAN UTD TOLD WHEN SANCHO DEAL CAN GO THROUGH Manchester United are edging closer to announcing the signing of Jadon Sancho after it emerged Borussia Dortmund were close to securing a deal for his replacement. It was claimed last month that United had already agreed personal terms, contract length, exit clause and shirt number with the 20-year-old England winger on a move to Old Trafford in a deal that will likely come close to, or even beat, the £89.3m record fee they paid for Paul Pogba in 2016. The big question marks surrounding Sancho’s move are the breakdown of the transfer fee, with United looking to come to a bonus-related arrangement similar to the deal that brought Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford in January that saw the Red Devils pay a sizeable fee upo front, but then Sporting Lisbon receive a series of performance-related enhancements. Dortmund, however, have been very public in their determination that the England winger will only leave on their terms and for their valuation. The second hurdle for United to overcome, from a Dortmund perspective at least, is their capture of a replacement, but it seems that end of the deal is closer to fruition with talks advancing to sign a €35m Liverpool target. The player in question is Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica, who was linked with a move to Anfield just last month. The Reds have been keeping a close watch on the talented 23-year-old from Kosovo, who has scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 24 appearances this season. However, Spanish outlet Fijaches claims Dortmund have already entered talks to sign the player and are prepared to meet the €35m exit clause that exists in his contract to take him to the Westfalenstadion. Rashica’s agent, Atlin Lala, says approaches have been made for the player and expects an announcement to be made once football resumes in Germany. “We were in contact with some clubs – including those from the Bundesliga,” Lala told German publication Sport1. “At the moment, everything is standing still. “I am sure that soon, when we are back to normal, there will be movement on the topic and something will definitely happen. “It is clear that until the end of the season Milot will concentrate entirely on staying up with Werder Bremen.” To that point, Fijaches reckon Rashica’s transfer could be confirmed once Bremen’s Bundesliga fate is sealed one way or the other. As a footnote, the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that German Chancellor Angela Merkel could give the go-ahead for the Bundesliga to resume as quickly as May 15. And once a deal for Rashica is confirmed, it is suggested that United’s move for Sancho will also get the green light and bring to an end Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s quest to bring the winger back to the Premier League and play him in a front three alongside Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

MAN UTD TOLD WHEN SANCHO DEAL CAN GO THROUGH

Manchester United are edging closer to announcing the signing of Jadon Sancho after it emerged Borussia Dortmund were close to securing a deal for his replacement.

It was claimed last month that United had already agreed personal terms, contract length, exit clause and shirt number with the 20-year-old England winger on a move to Old Trafford in a deal that will likely come close to, or even beat, the £89.3m record fee they paid for Paul Pogba in 2016.

The big question marks surrounding Sancho’s move are the breakdown of the transfer fee, with United looking to come to a bonus-related arrangement similar to the deal that brought Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford in January that saw the Red Devils pay a sizeable fee upo front, but then Sporting Lisbon receive a series of performance-related enhancements.

Dortmund, however, have been very public in their determination that the England winger will only leave on their terms and for their valuation.

The second hurdle for United to overcome, from a Dortmund perspective at least, is their capture of a replacement, but it seems that end of the deal is closer to fruition with talks advancing to sign a €35m Liverpool target.

The player in question is Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica, who was linked with a move to Anfield just last month.

The Reds have been keeping a close watch on the talented 23-year-old from Kosovo, who has scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 24 appearances this season.

However, Spanish outlet Fijaches claims Dortmund have already entered talks to sign the player and are prepared to meet the €35m exit clause that exists in his contract to take him to the Westfalenstadion.

Rashica’s agent, Atlin Lala, says approaches have been made for the player and expects an announcement to be made once football resumes in Germany.

“We were in contact with some clubs – including those from the Bundesliga,” Lala told German publication Sport1.

 

 

“At the moment, everything is standing still.

“I am sure that soon, when we are back to normal, there will be movement on the topic and something will definitely happen.

“It is clear that until the end of the season Milot will concentrate entirely on staying up with Werder Bremen.”

To that point, Fijaches reckon Rashica’s transfer could be confirmed once Bremen’s Bundesliga fate is sealed one way or the other.

As a footnote, the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that German Chancellor Angela Merkel could give the go-ahead for the Bundesliga to resume as quickly as May 15.

And once a deal for Rashica is confirmed, it is suggested that United’s move for Sancho will also get the green light and bring to an end Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s quest to bring the winger back to the Premier League and play him in a front three alongside Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
