Report from FabRom that Man Utd lowers the asking price for Sancho at 17m.
Imagine Chelsea came back for him and offers Man Utd 15m, take it or leave it.
Chelsea buys Sancho for 15m + 5m paid for breaking the loan obligation = 20m
The loan obligation to buy Sancho was at 25m (savings of 5m).
At then after 1 year, Chelsea sells Sancho to Saudi for 40-50m, just like Joao Felix deal. PEAK AURAAAA.
Well, he went back to United after the Conference League Finals and pocketed his massive salary for a couple more months. Question is, will he now be willing to lower his salary demands.
I guess it doesn't hurt to stay and run down his contract with that massive salary. Be that annoying shirt tag that keeps on poking your back.
If Sancho can make a deal with MU with somehow compensate a portion of his whatever balance of the contract wages to him.
I think he willing to jump ship to us if we offer to buy him.
I think it getting clearer to see what Boehly & co doing now, buying many young players on long term contract and telling the players perform and reward will await them.
If not, will find them a better home (loan or sold) during the long contract period with similar or better paycheck and at same time earn a profit for the club.
This is why many young players are agreed with our deals even fully aware there is stiff competition for starting spot place.
Footballer careers have very short lifespan and if unlucky, only need 1 major injury and they are done.
They got nothing to lose plus long-term contract securing their future at least until 27/28 years old worry free first.
If they got what it takes to reach the top with us and showcase them using Chelsea exposure, they know more $$ will come in their way.
If not, Chelsea secures them with decent salary plus world class support and facility for the rest of the contract, at least until buyers can be found.
