DORTMUND TELLS JADON SANCHO EXACT REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMANENT TRANSFER DEAL NEXT YEAR
Jadon Sancho has been told he must take a 50% pay cut on his £300k-a-week wages if he wants to return to Borussia Dortmund. The winger is open to the move to revive his stalled career.
The situation with Jadon Sancho's unknown future has changed again, as The Daily Mirror says the winger would need to cut his weekly pay of £300,000 by 50% if he wants to go back to Borussia Dortmund.
The 25-year-old is now playing for Aston Villa temporarily, but his time in Birmingham has not been great, as he has only played in four Premier League games since he joined in the summer.
Sancho's transfer to Villa was meant to help him get back on track after his career slowed down following his big £73 million move from Dortmund to Manchester United in 2021.
But he has kept having problems with his performance and staying in shape. In the summer, United let him go temporarily to Aston Villa, but the English winger has had a hard time getting his career back on track.
Jadon Sancho was told he needs to ask for less money.
Because Borussia Dortmund is now thinking about signing him again, he has been told to ask for less money.
Dortmund is still thinking about bringing Sancho back to Germany, where he played his best football from 2017 to 2021.
The team in Germany thinks that coming back could help him find his talent again, but only if he takes a much smaller pay.
Dortmund's current money plan does not let them pay players anywhere close to what Sancho currently makes at Old Trafford.
Sancho is ready to go back to the Bundesliga.
At the same time, Sancho is thought to be okay with going back to where he feels comfortable, as long as he is sure to play often.
Getting back together with Dortmund could be good for both sides, giving Sancho a fresh start and giving Dortmund a reliable creative player as they try to compete with Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen for titles in their country.
However, if the English winger is not willing to give up a lot of money, talks might stop again.
Since Man United is willing to let the player leave the team for good next year, Sancho has a chance to save his career.
DERBY OUTRAGE: PETER BANKES DOUBLES DOWN ON DISALLOWED KOLO MUANI GOAL DESPITE MASSIVE CRITICISM
Referee verdict: Discover why Peter Bankes disallowed Kolo Muani’s goal and Keith Hackett’s "stupid and soft" reaction.
Referee Peter Bankes stood by his call to disallow Randal Kolo Muani’s equaliser in the North London derby, calling it “a very, very clear offence.”
The moment sparked outrage. Gabriel, Arsenal’s defender, hit the deck after Muani’s challenge in the box. Former Premier League referees’ chief Keith Hackett didn’t hold back, calling the decision “stupid and soft".
Bankes didn’t hesitate. He blew for a foul, ruled out the goal, and VAR stayed out of it, even as Spurs fans fumed. That goal would’ve levelled it at 2-2.
Bankes explained on the Match Officials Mic’d Up show: “I was exactly where I needed to be for a cross from the right. I saw the Tottenham player put two hands into the back of the Arsenal player. That’s what grabbed my attention. When you see that live, it looks like a straightforward push – a clear foul.
“I held off on the whistle to let play run, then made the call after the ball went in. That way, VAR could step in if I’d missed something or if it looked off. But honestly, on the pitch, it looked obvious.
“I’m still comfortable with my decision. Sure, things can look different at different speeds; slow motion isn’t the same as seeing it live. But I got one look, and I was confident the two hands on the back had enough impact to be a foul.
“I know people will split on this, but I’m comfortable. That’s a free kick for me.”
The decision was a huge break for Arsenal, who ended up winning 4-1. As far as Spurs fans were concerned, Gabriel got away with one.
Ex-Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher backed Bankes up: “The on-field decision always stands. The ref saw enough for a push. VAR isn’t going to overturn that when the evidence is there.”
THE GIBBS-WHITE PROJECT: WHY MANCHESTER UNITED SEE THE FOREST STAR AS THEIR NEXT PLAYMAKER
United transfer hub. Get the report on wage bill cuts, the Forest playmaker, and City’s rival interest.
Manchester United still have a bit of a wait before the summer transfer window opens, but talk around Old Trafford is already heating up. People keep linking United with all kinds of new signings for when the season wraps up.
Michael Carrick has made quite the impression as United’s interim head coach so far. The club handed him the reins until the end of the season, and honestly, he’s done well with the opportunity.
Still, no one really knows who’ll be in charge next season. That uncertainty just adds fuel to the rumours about which players United will chase in the transfer market.
Right now, everything hinges on Champions League qualification. United sit fourth in the Premier League after a 1-0 win over Everton on Monday night. That spot could make all the difference for summer plans.
Morgan Gibbs-White's claim
Now, United have reportedly joined the hunt for Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White. The Daily Mail says United are keeping an eye on the Forest playmaker, maybe even lining up a summer move.
But there’s a snag: United want to bring down their wage bill, and that could make signing Gibbs-White tricky.
Manchester City are also said to be interested, and Tottenham apparently tried to sign the 26-year-old with a £60 million offer, but that move fell apart.
Man United's Scott McTominay stance
As for Scott McTominay, it sounds like United aren’t planning a reunion. Despite recent talk about bringing the Napoli midfielder back, TEAMtalk reports United aren’t interested, and the idea hasn’t even come up in the recruitment department.
Napoli now values McTominay at close to £70 million, just a year and a half after he left United for around £25 million. He made the move to Italy in the summer of 2024 and, in his first season, helped Napoli win the Serie A title.
