How much Manchester United can earn from Jadon Sancho’s loan

Ineos actually had some influence in January but didn’t free up any money to spend, choosing to save it for this summer.

The business they did, was sanctioning exits. And although this was necessary in the case of Jadon Sancho, the execution was perfect.

Jadon Sancho’s total loan income

It used to be that loan deals were not profitable at all. But they have become quite profitable for teams if executed correctly.

There was a limited market for Jadon Sancho at the start of January after he spent four months on the sidelines at Carrington after clashing with Erik ten Hag and refusing to apologise.

This was an even tougher negotiation considering Sancho only wanted Borussia Dortmund. It wasn’t like there was a bidding war for his services.

Dortmund agreed to cover part of Sancho’s wages, a total of £3m.

But where the deal really kicked off and doubled its value are the performance clauses that Manchester United inserted into the deal.

Dortmund are in the Champions League final and if they win Manchester United will receive an extra £3.4m in total.

Even if they don’t beat Real Madrid, The Telegraph report that almost all of their £3.4m bonus has already been taken due to the number of games played, with Dortmund just making it to the final.

Dortmund were not expected to reach the final, so this exceeded expectations in terms of Manchester United.

Jadon Sancho’s future is unclear

Manchester United have agreed to pay £73m for Jadon Sancho in 2021. He has failed to meet the fee, making it one of the club’s most expensive signings ever.

Now United must try to recoup as much of the fee as possible. Sancho helped his cause by drawing attention to Dortmund’s run to the Champions League final.

His value could really rise with a winning performance, but whatever happens against Real, the loan deal has worked to overturn a disastrous first half of the season at United.

Getting a small amount of income is a consolation for United, paying some of his expensive wages.

United need to be creative with their incoming and outgoing bids this summer to meet financial regulations and make up for their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
