Manchester United could have to pay Jadon Sancho up to £10million in loyalty payments for him to leave Old Trafford this summer.
Sancho has rejected a move to Roma despite reports Man United were prepared to sell him for around £20million.
Football Insider revealed on 17 August Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho must leave Man United before they can move for their ambitious targets.
“Okay, so from that perspective, I don’t know what the number is, but let’s say it’s £10million that he’s owed by Manchester United if he moves.
“So, he’s not moving until he’s got certainty that he’s going to be paid that £10million, especially not in a scenario where United are getting a £20million fee.
“So, it may be a situation where Roma said, our total contribution to this deal is £20million, how you deal with it with the player is up to you, but we’re not paying more than £20million.
“And really that offer when you actually get down to it, given that it’s got all of these payments that need to be made to Sancho for United is actually a net £10million deal.
“Presumably, United are not prepared to do that deal, and the player is not prepared to effectively waive £10million, so there’s no deal.”
