Manchester United agree with Jadon Sancho transfer with £72.9m deal to complete long-awaited signing

Borussia Dortmund winger will be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first transfer of the summer and the deal is expected to go through after a medical


Manchester United has reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of Jadon Sancho.

It is understood a fee of just under £73 million ($101m) has been agreed between the two parties with the England international now set to undergo a medical before the transfer is completed. He will sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford, with the option for a further 12 months.

The two clubs have been negotiating over a fee for a few months, with Dortmund rejecting United’s bid of £67m at the start of June.

Negotiations have continued over the last month between the two sides as they attempted to confirm a fee and also come to an agreement on how the full sum would be paid, with disputes over how much would be paid in add-ons causing hold-ups.

It is believed the final fee is £72.9m – with no add-ons.

Unlike last summer where an agreement couldn’t be reached, there was continued optimism from the United side this summer that a deal could be finalised. 

Dortmund had a gentleman’s agreement in place with Sancho that he could leave should a buying club come up with their asking price, and the Bundesliga side have stuck to their word and let the England international depart.

Sancho will now have to undergo a medical to complete his transfer, which is expected to happen after he has finished international duty with England at Euro 2020.

He has not been starting for Gareth Southgate’s side but still remains a part of their squad as they prepare for their quarter-final versus Ukraine.
