Jadon Sancho: Man Utd To Present ‘Take It Or Leave It’ Offer For Dortmund Striker – Paper Round

Manchester United will make a ‘take it or leave it’ offer to Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho next week, the Mirror reports. The deal, we hear you ask, for a transfer that has been talked about for months? £ 75 million upfront with £ 15 million in possible add-ons. The report states that United Executive Vice President Ed Woodward will offer no leeway on the rate or overall structure of the deal. Dortmund reportedly wanted £ 108 million for Sancho, and also gave United a deadline of August 10 to submit an offer for the England international. From Friday it will be September 25.

Paper Round’s opinion: So is that going to be quitting? If Woodward is unwilling to negotiate after making an opening offer, what type of transfer is this? An attempt to show United fans that they tried but failed to get Dortmund to move? Probably, but if they really wanted him to have this window, they would be willing to negotiate and, in truth, they would have started the talks sooner than they have.

Paris Saint-Germain could see Kylian Mbappé’s value fall to £ 91 million if he enters the final year of his contract and refuses to sign an extension, Mail reports. With two years to the end of his current contract, PSG are willing to tie the striker to a longer contract. Currently valued at 400 million pounds (according to the report …) which would be drastically reduced if he heads into the 2021-22 season without signing an extension, but could be worth even more (!) If the French champions get him to sign -Something they will be desperate to do with Real Madrid interested and Liverpool also linked to the forward.

Paper Round’s opinion: It would be an intriguing summer next year if Mbappé leaves PSG sweating. £ 91 million seems like little, even with only 12 months left, but Real will undoubtedly make a tempting offer to force PSG to make a tough decision. Liverpool will have a hard time keeping up with financial demands, hopefully, unless they sell Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah and then raise another two hundred million.

Matteo Guendouzi wants to leave Arsenal and has asked the board of directors to grant that request before the transfer deadline, reports the Mirror. The midfielder has not played with Mikel Arteta since June, when he allegedly mocked the Brighton players about his salary, and the Frenchman has realized his future is far from the Emirates.

Paper Round’s opinion: Arteta had said that Guendouzi had returned to training with the first team, but having been excluded from the teams of the day, including this week’s Carabao Cup, means that he realizes that his time is up. It will divide opinion among Arsenal fans, but Arteta will take no prisoners in his bid to restore the Gunners’ glory years.

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira is close to joining Atletico Madrid on a one-season loan, reports the Evening Standard, although Thomas Partey will not take the opposite direction as both clubs look to reach a final deal. Torreira is not part of Mikel Arteta’s plans, while the move would link him with fellow Uruguayan Luis Suárez, who recently joined Atleti from Barcelona.
