INEOS Aiming to Bolster Selling Record, Unlikely to Let Jadon Sancho Depart on the Cheap
It seems that
new co-owners, INEOS, are planning a significant overhaul of the squad in their first transfer window.
With multiple positions on the pitch in need of reinforcements, the club will likely focus on selling players to raise capital due to Financial Fair Play concerns.
Reports suggest that over 10 players, including loaned-out players like Jadon Sancho, are set to depart in the summer clearout. Sancho’s situation at the club deteriorated after a falling-out with manager Erik ten Hag, leading to his loan move back to Borussia Dortmund in January.
Although
form initially struggled upon his return to Dortmund, recent performances have shown improvement, leading to interest from the Bundesliga side in a potential permanent deal.
However, Dortmund is reportedly counting on Sancho and Ten Hag’s strained relationship to force Manchester United into offering a discounted sale.
Under the new ownership of INEOS,
selling strategy is expected to change, with a focus on maximizing returns for players like Sancho, who still have significant potential.
INEOS will likely aim to recoup a substantial portion of the £73 million invested in Sancho three years ago, rather than selling him at a discounted rate.
This approach signals a shift in the club’s strategy under the new ownership, prioritizing profitability in player sales and ensuring that the club benefits from any transfer deals.
It also sends a message to players that the club is taking a more assertive stance in transfer negotiations and prioritizing its financial interests.
