365 days later and it’s a done deal: Jadon Sancho will (finally) become a Manchester United player. Borussia Dortmund’s winger will come back to England after four successful years in Bundesliga and will be a wealthy man. As we wrote seven days ago, the deal was struck, but in the end, it seems that the sum will be a bit smaller than initially reported. The official signing and posing with a new shirt will be done after England’s participation in EURO 2020. Manchester United finally decide to pay 16.2 billion for Jadon SanchoPersonal terms were agreed with the player well before the actual deal between the clubs, since Jadon had a long time wish to sign for the Red Devils. As reported by all major British newspapers, Sancho will sign a five-year deal and his weekly wage will be around 52 million Ksh! That’s three times more than his Borussia salary and he is only 21 years old.

Manchester will pay around 11 billion Ksh for the player, in instalments over the next four years. With all add-ins and bonuses, the sum can raise up to 12 billion. Not bad for a player they bought for only 1.2 billion in 2017, when he was just 17-years old and didn’t want to sit on the Manchester City bench, but was looking for more playing time. He has scored 50 goals and registered 64 assists in 137 Dortmund appearances since, including 16 goals and 20 assists last season, when he was injured a couple of times.Guess what – he is injured again!But, it’s not Borussia’s biggest sale so far. Sancho will fall straight into second place and maybe he would be the winner, if it wasn’t for the Covid-19 pandemic. Because of that, he will stay in second place, behind only Ousmane Dembele, who was sold to Barcelona in 2017 for a whopping 13.4 billion, which rose during time to 17.2 billion, due to various add-ons.
