Manchester United remain wary of their pursuit of a top winger target, while a Tottenham transfer hurdle has been cleared – both in all the latest Euro Paper Talk.
MAN UTD CAUTIOUS OVER SANCHO
Manchester United are operating caution over a potential deal for Jadon Sancho despite fresh expectation that he is expecting a summer transfer, a report claims.
United missed out on the winger last summer after refusing to pay Borussia Dortmund’s £108million valuation.
However, Sancho has eaten into another year of his contract and doubt remains over his fee this this time around. Indeed, Dortmund are hoping to qualify for next season’s Champions League to boost their chances of keeping him.
A previous report from Eurosport has revealed how United feel that a bid of around £50million could tempt Dortmund this summer.
Fresh claims from Eurosport now say that in-the-know figures have ‘begun signalling’ that Sancho wants a move ahead of next season.
What’s more, the former Manchester City man wants to return to English football.
Despite this boost, though, United are wary of jumping at the prospect of a deal. Red Devils chiefs want to wait and see what sort of fee Dortmund are expecting for their winger.
United officials ‘hope’ that Sancho’s price has ‘dropped significantly’ from its previous three-figure mark.
As well as the Old Trafford club, Chelsea have been linked with a swoop for the England international in the past.
