I think this backs up what the real rumoured situation is. We'd probably be fine with the 108m but asking for the rumoured 50m euro agents/signing fee is going to be the real issue and you have to question if the player really wants to play for us. We don't want another Pogba situation where he signs, earns a gigantic paycheck and then angles for a move to Real in a year or 2.
Maybe wages are agreed but the agent/signing on fee is going to be the major sticking point.
Just looked up this agent as I've never heard of him. Looks like he represents British/African players; Saka, Iwobi, Nketiah...and Todd Cantwell of all people.
He does have a Nigerian name, no surprise his clientele.
Agents ruining transfers is no surprise. I remembered we lost out on Hazard because we won't budge on the agent fee right?
This is getting so frustrating! We've got the best player in his position, in the world, aged only 20, wanting to join us. Not only that but it coincidentally is the one position we haven't properly filled in over ten years!!
If we don't get him this window, he'll end up being a Ballon D'or winner at Madrid, and then we'll be left wondering why we can't close the gap between us and City.
FFS Woodward get it done!

He doesn't say that though. It's all about the 120
We scraped into the CL. I doubt Woodward or the Glazers give a shit about closing the gap at the top. Top Four is enough sadly.
If only Dortmund would accept 120 million in monopoly money.
They don't care one bit, they'd be happy for top four and zero trophies for the next decade if their pockets stayed full.
Sadly, yes. My gut feeling has always been that Ole is an ideal manager because he will not kick off at lack of transfer market intent and will just be happy to be in situ. I would love Conte at OT because he would probably impale Woodward
Nope, our revenues are colossal, we are miles behind, Ole is showing progress but if he's not backed he'll end up the same as the last 2 managers.
Nice sermon, but irrelevant. The Glazers have been hoarding for years when Fergie was manager and have been pocketing huge chunks of revenue every year, long before covid was even a word, so don't give me that shit. Ole has done really well with a very limited squad filled with mistakes made by the clowns above long before covid as well.
He'll be judged this coming season on more than just scraping a CL spot and isn't being armed to even try and compete with Liverpool, City and Chelsea. There's no way we don't have the means and reserves of funds to get Ole Sancho, a CB and DM, don't let the Glazers use covid as an excuse to sell you on them not backing Ole.
Sancho replacement?
Nein.
BVB history with Brazilian players is just as bad as ours.
RM said they were going to be in for him next summer IIRC. WOnder if they included a first option on him as part of this deal.
Two year loan bro from RM
RM are loaning him to Dortmund?
Yea I know, what I meant is does this deal include a first option on Sancho.
I highly doubt that. That stuff almost never happens.
First option serves no purpose it's a useless thing .
Ornstein said that City have an option to match any offer a club makes for Sancho as first option. It's not unusual.
I don’t know but what does first option even mean? The courtesy to inform the promised club of an offer if another club elsewhere wants to buy the player?
Yes, but they sold Sancho so could ask for first option. Real don't own Sancho.
They can do it even if they didn't have the first option and If Sancho wants to go back to City he would and Dortmund wouldn't stand in his way if their price is met so just like any other transfer it doesn't give them any leverage.
People need to relax about this situation. Now people worrying he may go to Madrid next summer. Of course he may well do but doesn't he supposedly miss England? I thought that was a big reason why he wanted to come to us. Swapping for Germany for Spain is still foreign to him. Another new country and another new language.
He will stay at Dortmund or come to us I reckon either this summer and more likely in a future window. I don't see him going to Spain.

Very few clubs can afford this fee under normal circumstances. I find it hard to believe if we don't sign him this summer he will go to any number of clubs next summer. There has been no indication the current situation will just disappear in a couple of months. COVID will have long lasting effects on large gatherings for many more months, if not years. The way I see it playing out is fans will be allowed back into stadiums and infections will rise requiring restrictions to be put in place again. Loss of gate revenue is huge for many clubs. On top of that the lower income from TV and sponsors will really take it's toll.
I think United can come up with the cash but there is so much uncertainty about the economy for the coming months/years it's no wonder the club are not wanting to fork over the entire amount up front. If COVID didn't happen Sancho would already be playing in a United shirt.
This is the reality of the situation as much as it sucks.
Exactly. Money isn't going to free flowing next summer too. The backlash to this pandemic will be felt for a while yet.
I think he will end up with us just don't know when. Breaking our transfer record right now just seems so unlikely given what is going on.
I can't decide if Ole doesn't trust the European transfer market or just simply doesn't have enough knowledge of it
That is just my take on the situation and if you look at those earlier tweets from Falk it does suggest they would accept the money in instalments rather than a lump sum
The fee has to be agreed on a club to club basis for any transfer and I doubt Dortmund are a fan of us at the moment. In terms of first options obviously it would depend on the text and legality of City's first option as to whether Real can displace the agreement with City and Dortmund about first options, but there's nothing to stop first options between clubs being written as part of any other transaction. Reading between the lines from what Ole said after being asked about Sancho yesterday - that we'll only move for players that we're 100% certain of, we won't move for Sancho until it's clear that he only wants to come to us and that's the delay IMO and what the press are describing as a "game of poker". I think the way our PR campaign for the player has changed also indicates that.
Until Sancho overtly says he wants to only move to us I can't see us making an offer to risk being duped at the last minute via an offer to BVB, as BVB won't be fans of Judge/Woody right now.
I take it you didn’t get the answer you were looking for when you posted this in the Reddit thread?
It means if they accept an offer from another club they are obliged to offer the player to the club with the first option first, for the agreed price.
Romano is going to lose his shit in the end. How many times has he answered the same question in the last week alone? Poor kid.
