Manchester United have reportedly already agreed on terms on a contract with Jadon Sancho that is set to make him the second best-paid player at Old Trafford. The Red Devils failed in their pursuit of Sancho last summer as they refused to meet Borussia Dortmund’s £108million asking price.
It was expected that Sancho’s valuation would only increase with the chance of more teams attempting to sign him in 2021. But Dortmund are now asking for a deal worth £86m this time around with United restarting negotiations.
A bid has already been made which is supposed £10m short of what Dortmund wants. Multiple reports suggest that United will eventually get the deal over the line and personal terms won’t be a problem.
United agreed on a contract with Sancho last year on a five-year deal and it seems as though that offer still stands. And according to the Daily Mail, Sancho will come in as one of the best-paid players in the Premier League.
The report claims Sancho’s contract will be just shy of David de Gea, who currently earns £375,000-a-week.
The United shot-stopper is the highest earner in the Premier League with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang just behind on £350,000-a-week.
Sancho’s proposed United contract will comfortably put him in the top five best-paid players, likely ahead of Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne who both earn £300,000-a-week. On a five-year contract, Sancho’s deal could be worth in excess of £21million at just 21 years of age.
