Jadon Sancho is in the picture to strengthen RB Leipzig, it writes BILD Monday morning. The attacker has completely fallen out of favor at Manchester United after a feud with Erik ten Hag and there are hopes in England that he will leave. Leipzig may offer a solution.
The only major stumbling block that could stand in the way of a transition is the astronomical salary that Sancho earns in Manchester. The technician reportedly earns around 20 million euros in annual salary.
That is an amount that Leipzig is nowhere near able to cough up. Those Roten Bullen Due to the departure of Emil Forsberg to the New York Red Bulls, they are looking for an offensive boost in the winter.
Sancho got into a big fight with Erik ten Hag earlier this year. He publicly lashed out at his coach, after which he refused to apologize. Ten Hag then removed him from the selection and the winger has not played a minute since the Red Devils.
United would be happy to sell him in the winter due to his salary, which puts a heavy burden on the budget. There seem to be plenty of options for that too. Sancho was previously linked with a return to Borussia Dortmund, where he made waves.
But they also don't seem to be able to afford such a huge salary. A move to the Middle East could possibly be a solution, as they normally do not shy away from huge salary demands. However, the question is whether Sancho himself sees merit in such an adventure.
At Leipzig, Sancho would have to deal with Xavi Simons, among others. Although the Dutchman is on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, he could prove to be a formidable competitor – or excellent teammate – for Sancho in the remainder of the season.
