English Premier League side Manchester United have announced that they have reached agreement in principle with German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of English international winger Jadon Sancho.
The signing is subject to contractual terms and a medical, which will be completed after Jadon’s involvement in the 2020 UEFA European Championship.
The transfer is worth a base fee of 85 million Euros with upto 10 million Euros as add ons. 15% of the transfer fee will go to Sancho’s former club Manchester City.
BVB chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke was quoted, “We’re not happy about the money. We are sad that he is gone. At the end of the day, it was Jadon’s exemplary wish that we would have preferred to keep him here. But he behaved fantastic and gave everything for four years.”
Jadon Sancho could make his debut at some point in the pre-season with Manchester United having two Old Trafford friendlies lined up for later this month, against Brentford FC and Everton FC.
