Borussia Dortmund have reportedly denied that Jadon Sancho’s absence from his DFL-Supercup lineup is linked to something imminent for Manchester United.
A respiratory infection will save Sancho from betting against Bayern Munich. Norwegian media outlet Dagbladet (h/t of Goal’s Ronan Murphy) reported that the 20-year-old is looking to force a return to England.
However, football journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Dortmund “are still convinced that Jadon is going to stay” and will not settle for any donation of 100 million euros or less from United.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said in August that Sancho would stay after United failed to line up a move before the club’s self-imposed deadline. The move window officially closes until Monday, potentially giving United time to force a Dortmund turnaround.
Executive Vice President Ed Woodward could, however, provide alternatives. Sky Sports reported that the Red Devils are on a transfer agreement to the end of Barcelona Ousmane Dembélé. Watford ismaila Sarr’s winger, Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic and loose striker Edinson Cavani are also on the target list.
In general circumstances, aligning a Sancho movement would be difficult for any club, as it is in the best option and Borussia Dortmund would make a deal. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic make things even more complicated.
MARK Ogden of ESPN reported that United would possibly be contemplating losses of one hundred million pounds due to the pandemic, restricting what the Red Devils can spend on the moving market: “Sources told ESPN that pandemic losses are paramount at the club. warns of this windowArray move that they have only made one signature so far by spending 40 million pounds for Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek.
Perhaps Sancho can speed things up by officially requesting a transfer, but he might be pleased to stay in Dortmund during the season. The club can offer you UEFA Champions League football and possibly the same chances of winning a league name you would have at United. .
The challenge for United is that getting Sancho now can mean facing more festivals if rival clubs saw their winnings recovered a little before the next move window.
