Jadon Sancho, Manchester United’s top target, prefers a move to Liverpool FC this summer, to at least one report.
Several reports offer other angles of Sancho’s “movement saga” in the existing movement market. Man Utd has been invited to qualify for the Champions League next season to make a special offer for the 20-year-old who is part of the English national team. Now that the Ole Gunnar Solskajer team has won the Champions League place for the 2020–21 season, it is understood that they have officially made an offer to Dortmund for Sancho.
It was reported in the past that Dortmund had turned down Man Utd’s initial offer of $114 million because the German aspect did not seek to sell its prized player for less than $140 million.
After a report at The Independent that the Bundesliga had agreed to the $78 million down payment of the $78 million Man Utd, which could succeed at $130 million, Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc denied the “rumors” and asked everyone to “stick to the facts.”
“Jadon is an exceptional footballer with a fee I have never noticed at this age. I think he’d even resist being one of the biggest in the industry if you looked at his age. I’d be satisfied if I still played. With us this season. And that’s the situation that exists. First of all, we have to stick to the facts, and they are, we still have a contract with him until 2022,” Zorc said. Goal Football website.
But Sancho would rather move to Liverpool from Man Utd after Jurgen Klopp’s team won the 2019-2020 Premier League, German football page Kicker said. The extra report indicated that Sancho’s idea would have a better chance of winning the silver medal with Anfield’s team, given that Klopp and Co. are the existing English, European and world champions.
Sancho, who moved from Manchester City to Dortmund in 2017 for just $10 million, has been a key component of Dortmund’s current team over the past two seasons. He scored thirteen goals in the 2018–19 crusade before taking his game to the next point in the 2019–20 season. He has scored 20 goals in 44 games in all competitions with Dortmund.
