Transfer strategy
Man United prepared to accept Roma's £20m bid
Man United are prepared to accept Roma's £20m bid for the player. The club is determined to sell Sancho, who has been seeking an exit. Besides Sancho, the likes of Antony, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia expressed their desire to leave the club earlier in July. The club gave them more time to explore future options by delaying their return for pre-season training. When the players returned, they trained away from the first team.
Chelsea
Chelsea paid Manchester United £5m penalty for Jadon Sancho
In June, Chelsea decided not to activate their £25 million obligation to sign Sancho permanently this summer. Instead, they ended up paying a £5 million penalty for breaking the agreement. The winger returned to Manchester United at the end of June after failing to agree on personal terms for an extended stay at Chelsea. Last summer, Chelsea signed Sancho on loan with an obligation to buy which had a penalty clause if the move would have failed to go through.
Information
Why United are prepared to accept Roma bid?
United valued Sancho at £25m last summer. Now with Chelsea paying £5m and Roma offering £20m, the needs are met. Also this is a first considerable offer for Sancho since he returned from Chelsea. United want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
