Manchester United sign Jadon Sancho for £72.9 million ($101m). The England winger’s move holds no add-ons as part of the deal according to sources.
Sources have also told ESPN that Sancho’s former club and United rivals Manchester City will receive 15% of the profit made by Dortmund on the transfer, set to be around £9.7m.
Sancho is currently on international duty with England at Euro 2020 and will continue to prepare for Saturday’s quarterfinal against Ukraine in Rome.
United are not expected to officially announce the deal until after his involvement in the tournament is over.
The Manchester United sign Jadon Sancho saga started way before now as talks with Sancho’s representatives, which began last summer, have gone smoothly and the 21-year-old will undergo a medical before signing a contract which will keep him at Old Trafford until at least 2026.
Sancho is expected to be part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad in time for the start of the Premier League season on Aug. 14.
Sancho was Solskjaer’s top transfer target last summer, and although Sancho expressed his desire to move, United could not agree a fee with Borussia Dortmund.
