Manchester United have made a breakthrough in their bid to sign Jadon Sancho by solving the issue of agent fees and personal terms, Dharmesh Sheth said. The transfer show.
United will not give up trying to sign Sancho, who Borussia Dortmund values at £ 108m, despite sporting director Michael Zorc suggesting that the 20-year-old will not be sold in this window.
However, despite the position of the Bundesliga club, during the last 24 hours there has been progress between the representatives of United and Sancho.
Sancho remains Manchester United’s number 1 transfer target
“I’ve been talking to someone close to a possible deal involving Jadon Sancho with Manchester United and in the last 24 hours there have been developments and potentially good news for Manchester United fans, due to the agent fee issues. and the personal terms, “I have been told, they are no longer a problem” Sky Sports News Reporter Sheth said.

“We understand that United remains very resolute and determined not to overpay for a player given the reality of the coronavirus pandemic, but since this was the problem for the last two to three weeks, Manchester United did not make an offer because needed to sort out Jadon Sancho’s agent fees and personal terms, this seems to be some kind of breakthrough.
“We understand now that agent fees and personal terms will no longer be an issue.”
‘It is United’s responsibility to make an official offer’
United’s chances of convincing Sancho to come to Old Trafford will have increased with their Champions League qualification, but they also see the German club’s valuation of 120 million euros (£ 108 million) for the player in the current coronavirus conditions as “unrealistic” for a player Dortmund himself signed for £ 7.2 million three years ago.
The club is also not willing to break its salary structure for the England international after the failed transfer of Alexis Sánchez.
United have made big moves for Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes in the last two transfer windows, but feel the environment for deals has changed since the coronavirus pandemic, with fees reflecting difficult financial conditions.

Sheth continued: “You could say that Manchester United now have the responsibility to go to Borussia Dortmund with an official offer and say ‘this is what we are offering for Jadon Sancho, do you accept?’
“The fact is that on August 10, Borussia Dortmund had set their own deadline. 108 million pounds should have been on the table and if it weren’t, Jadon Sancho is staying at Borussia Dortmund, he’s not going anywhere. .
“At the end of the day, Borussia Dortmund has said that it is not for sale. However, if Manchester United decides, based on this positive development, to say ‘we are going to Borussia Dortmund with an offer’, even if Borussia Dortmund has Having said that it is not for sale, it is most likely that any offer at that time will be rejected or rejected.
“However, two things could happen and they have to happen for this deal to be resurrected properly. Number one, Manchester United has to come in and make an official offer and number two, Jadon Sancho will have to go to Borussia Dortmund and say ‘I know You say I’m not for sale, but I actually want to talk to Manchester United. “
“That changes the landscape of this agreement because Borussia Dortmund has said since August 10 that they are not going anywhere, but if Jadon Sancho then comes to Borussia Dortmund and says ‘I want to go to Manchester United’, what does he say then Borussia Dortmund? To their fans? Now it’s up to Manchester United to make that formal offer to start that chain of events.
“So there has been a development regarding agent fees and personal terms, but we haven’t even gotten to the point where Manchester United are facing Borussia Dortmund. That will now be the next step.”
