Jadon Sancho: Man Utd’s minimum transfer fee explained as Borussia Dortmund set price

Manchester United will have to pay at least £107million to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho this summer, reports say. The England international is a top transfer target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having dazzled in the Bundesliga this season. And it may take a club-record fee to bring him to Old Trafford at the end of the campaign

Manchester United have watched from afar as Sancho has lit up the Bundesliga with his stunning performances for Dortmund this season.

The England international has scored 14 goals and registered 15 assists from 23 league matches this season, establishing himself as one of the best players on the planet in the process.

United wanted to sign him last summer and are ready to go again this year, with Solskjaer a huge admirer.

There’s been talk of the Red Devils perhaps signing Sancho on the cheap, with the coronavirus crisis seeing players’ values fall.

But The Athletic say it will take a massive £107m to bring him to Old Trafford at the end of the season and they want a fee similar to what Barcelona paid when signing Ousmane Dembele in the summer transfer window of 2017.

United have the financial muscle to afford Sancho.

But Ed Woodward has previously warned fans it won’t be ‘business as usual’ this summer - despite the wealth they have.

"We will continue looking for more ways of supporting those in need for as long as the pandemic continues," said Woodward.

"Everyone is grappling with the economic realities of the pandemic and we are no different. The longer the crisis continues the greater the impact will be for every club, including ourselves.
