United Consider Surprise Player Swap In Bid To Reduce Sancho’s £100m Price Tag

Manchester United may offer Alexis Sanchez to Borussia Dortmund in their attempt to sign Jadon Sancho, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Chilean international is expected to return to Old Trafford at the end of his loan spell with Inter Milan this summer, but he is unlikely to have a future at the Manchester club.

With Sancho expected to fetch in excess of £100m, the Red Devils are keen to offset the cost by including players in the deal.


The main issue with Sanchez, though, will be his astronomical salary which Dortmund won’t be able to match.

Whether the 31-year-old would consider a wage cut in order to move somewhere where he could get regular first-team football, it remains to be seen.

It does, however, seem pretty optimistic on United’s part to believe that Dortmund would be willing to take on the former Arsenal player, considering his fitness and form issues over the past three seasons.
