Jadon Sancho Next Club Odds - Summer 2020

Jadon Sancho has already become the most talked about player this summer.

The Borussia Dortmund forward has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United for some time, with his odds fluctuating drastically over the past week. When the Red Devils secured Champions League qualification, many predicted the deal to be finalised rather quickly, with this looking like the only potential stumbling block in bringing the player to Old Trafford.

The two clubs have been locked in prolonged negotiations, failing to reach an agreement on the upfront cost for the player. Dortmund remain adamant over their £120m valuation of Sancho, a fee that United deem 'unrealistic' in the current climate.

It's been back and forth over the past few weeks, with the headlines remaining the same. Given the current situation, we've had a look into the latest odds on his next club.

Just last week, Sancho was 1/20 to join United in the peak of the saga relating to Sancho transfer news.

This was the lowest price since the market opened over a month ago and a deal looked all but inevitable. Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has reported that the player has a 'total agreement' in place with the Red Devils, with personal terms not being an issue.

In fact, the player's heart is set on the move this summer, as recently backed up by a story in the Evening Standard.

However, after travelling to Switzerland with Dortmund and speaking of his happiness with the club, Sancho transfer odds have come crashing down to 4/5 to join United.

The major barrier holding up the deal is the transfer fee. As mentioned above, the two clubs are remaining adamant on their valuation of the player, with it looking like a 'take it or leave it offer' for both sets of parties. If United want to pay up, Sancho will be theirs.

Without a major breakthrough in the past week though, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's chances in landing him have evidently decreased and if you back Sancho to join United, now is the time to bet on him.

With limited progress around his exit, SkyBet have introduced a market for Sancho to remain with his club this summer. This price has remained consisted since Monday, with odds of 5/6.

Dortmund's recent antics have no doubt been the influential factor behind this, after posting about the player across their social feed. A couple of their squad members have publicly addressed the matter, claiming they are happy to see him stay.

Their club director, Michael Zorc, has also stated that the decision to keep Sancho in Germany is "final". Many will be quick to point out that the Bundesliga side did the exact same thing with Ousmane Dembele, before selling him on in 2017. It could just be seen as a negotiation tactic, to force United into meeting their valuation.

On the other hand, Dortmund's methods can be seen as risky. Should Sancho depart, they will be left rather embarrassed, and many of their players will likely question their intentions, should the club be left with egg on their face.

Also within SkyBet's market are Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

The trio share a large underdog price of 33/1 to capture his signature, with the larger odds all but summing up each club's slim chances in doing so.

Sancho left the Sky Blues for first-team football back in 2017, with there being somewhat of a distasteful relationship between the two. Pep Guardiola's squad is also already brimming with attacking talent, with his transfer priorities lying in strengthening his defence.

Liverpool are an interesting one, as the forward does fit Jurgen Klopp's blueprint on paper. After missing out on £47.5m Timo Werner though, the Reds don't look to have the financial means this summer to pull of such a move.

Monetary issues could be a widespread issue for clubs across Europe this summer, given the economical climate. Although usually exempt from such troubles, Madrid look to be in a similar boat. They invested heavily last summer and don't look to possess their usual resources. Splashing out on Sancho this summer is certainly an unrealistic thought for Real.

The ball, therefore, looks to be in United's court this summer, who won't want this deal to run into 2021, where there would be much more intense competition for the player's signature. It does seem in all of this Sancho transfer news, if anyone is going to land the winger, however, it will be United.
