Cheeky Man City can rumble Man Utd Sancho plans

Manchester City could scupper Manchester United plans of signing Borussia Dortmund whiz Jadon Sancho for a reasonable fee.

The Sun says Sancho, 20, is high on the wanted list for Manchester United and Chelsea and a £100million fee was being quoted before the lockdown.

That alone would earn first club City a cool £15m, as they are guaranteed 15 per cent of any future fee following his exit to Borussia Dortmund three years ago.

But another clause was also inserted in the £9.5m deal that if an offer comes in from any UK club at any stage Etihad bosses have to be informed.

It was intended to avoid City missing out should they try to re-sign academy star Sancho.

Although boss Pep Guardiola has made no firm noises about wanting to bring him back.

But if City want to try and hike their cut even higher, they could also throw in a cheeky offer to send the price soaring.
