Jadon Sancho is set to finally join Manchester United after an initial transfer fee of £73 million (€85m) was agreed with Borussia Dortmund. The winger has agreed a five-year deal.
The deal includes £5m in add-ons but they have been described as quite difficult to reach. The deal for the 21-year-old is subject to a medical but neither club expect any issues.
The transfer will bring to a close one of the longest-running sagas of the last few years. United have been keen to sign Sancho for some time but not quite reached an agreement.
Dortmund were keen to sell this summer and in the end a compromise was reached.
Sancho is currently with the England squad for Euro 2020 but has mainly been an unused substitute. He has played only six minutes so far.
The player has asked to wear No 7 at United but no decision has been taken on that yet. That shirt is currently worn by Edinson Cavani, who signed a fresh one-year deal towards the close of last season.
