According to The Athletic, after several rounds of negotiations, Borussia Dortmund have finally agreed with Manchester United on Sancho's loan. Sancho will arrive in Germany on both days.
It is reported that only the final stage of the loan agreement remains to be signed in the deal for Sancho, and the deal has been largely finalised. After several rounds of negotiations with Manchester United. The deal has been controversial about the buy-out clause that has not been revealed, with a total cost of £3.5 million, with Dort paying Sancho a third of his salary, while United are likely to receive a portion of the bonus based on Sancho's performance.
It is reported that the deal has been pulled several times in negotiations, and Sancho was supposed to join up directly with Dort's training base in Marbella last weekend, but it was delayed until this week because negotiations between the two clubs did not reach an agreement. Sancho gave up his salary of nearly €2.5 million for the second half of the season in order to return to Dortmund, which finally led to the two clubs agreeing on a loan deal.
United are very reluctant to include a buy-out clause in the deal, with management still believing Sancho still has potential and value to be tapped. Once he regains some of his former form at Borussia Dortmund, the Reds still have a chance to sell the Englishman for a good price this summer and reap some of the investment in him.
However, there is no buyout clause, and it seems that Dortmund lacks the motivation to activate Sancho. After all, Dort's business philosophy must still be to cultivate his own people first, and how much playing time Sancho, who has almost missed half a year of official games, can get in Dort, I am afraid that there will be a big question mark.
This time, Sancho gave up a lot of personal interests, which shows that he still wants to prove himself and regain his past state. The Bundesliga is also Sancho's comfort zone, and if he can take advantage of the opportunity in the half season at Borussia Dortmund and play with statistics and results, he will still be able to continue his career with a competitive team this summer.
Sancho is still young after all, and getting back on track will leave him with many possibilities for the future. This is perhaps the most important reason why United are reluctant to include a buy-out clause in their contract.
