And we aren't slowing down the negotiations either, which seems to be one of the complaints about this club's transfer processes.
How do you see this one going?
I'm going to base this on the Dembele transfer to Barcelona given that we're dealing with similar agents. This might go down to the last day for us. Dortmund themselves aren't willing to negotiate, which is why they have agents representing them. The agents themselves are slow in negotiating this deal presumably to force our hand and make us pay up. In the end, we'll pay the full 120 million Euros; we'll probably be spending the bulk of the time negotiating a favourable payment structure.
What if the 60m + 20m add ons figure mentioned by Falk was an invitation to other clubs to bid - 80m will attract more suitors than 120m.?
Tell me about it.
Just had a quick look at his injury history the past couple of seasons... Wow.
Well, we made that initial offer to the agents. It wouldn't serve our interest in any way if other clubs came in to bid for Sancho (unless you're suggesting that Falk mentioning this is a ploy by Dortmund to start a bidding war).
I think it's in Dortmund's interest to drag this out hence the use of agents. If they can drag it closer to the close of the window then pressure will be applied to United. As it stands if United have Sanchos full agreement so early on in the window (as suggested) Dortmund have little power left hence the artificial deadline and the big PR drive to try and grab power back.
Is Mourinho going to buy any attacking players, I wonder? Surely they can't go into another season hoping and praying that Kane doesn't get injured (which he always does). They're still totally reliant on him.
As for Hojbjerg, meh. Decent player but nothing more.

It's just so bland, like the signing.And that's why they have the agents come in for their negotiations. If they didn't, that'll make their position weaker in the transfer market. At least the agents can slow things down and allow Dortmund to maintain their hard stance similar to Spanish clubs with their high release clauses.
On a side note, I'm intrigued by the massive coverage this Sancho transfer is getting compared to the Havertz one. Yeah, I've talked about this already, but I'm not just referring to the United fans; this is getting a ton of coverage from football fans in general compared to the Havertz saga. I haven't seen someone do a Daniel Harris for the Havertz transfers and offer insider info on the transfer process nor have I seen much discussion from other football fans over the Havertz transfer.
Kyle Walker-Peters to Southampton is now official.
With KWP out and Aurier on his way out, Spurs may not have a proper right back. They're most certainly going to bring in one lest they want to play central defenders there (Foythm Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez).

Kamil Glik to Benevento is now official.
That's a great signing for them, honestly.

After Zidane wanted to call back Odegaard, the club also wants to call back Ceballos from Arsenal.
This is based on reports on both AS and Marca. This might be a Madrid briefing by the looks of things.

What with the Sancho saga and the heatwave making everyone even more tetchy than usual, I think @Fridge chutney is a brave man.
West Ham might get in trouble if they are unable to pay the full amount for Sebastien Haller.
Apparently they don't have enough money due to the pandemic and the fact that they're spending on stadium improvements.

I feel like I can trust the German local newspapers over Bundesliga-related news, so here you go: Southampton are eyeing sought-after Stuttgart midfielder Orel Mangala to replace Hojbjerg.
Southampton are also after Martin Hinteregger to bolster their back line.
This is the same Martin Hinteregger who scored 9 goals for Frankfurt last season.
