According to Daily Mirror you've pulled out of the race for Sancho.
Doubt we were ever in for him to begin with. There’s no chance we’d even contemplate paying such an obscene amount of money on a player with purely potential. At this point, he’s proven nothing to suggest he’s worth anywhere near the amount being spoken about. Just look at Joao Felix, looked boss at Benfica, went to Atletico for 100mill and has done very, very little.
Sancho looks a promising player but I’d be pretty annoyed if we went out and paid a ridiculous amount for him given there are better and more proven players for a fraction of that; Werner for example.
He looks good but he looks some way off the level of Mbappe who IMO is the bench mark for players around that age and big transfer fees.
Only reason we’ve been linked with Sancho is to try and drive the price up even more, but I think the club will make it quite clear we aren’t interested so forget that tactic.
100mill+ for a player well off the level off of our current front 3, not a chance in hell.
Not in the slightest bit bothered where he moves to, if you Mancs, Chavs or whoever else wants to pay all that money for potential and nothing yet proven then crack on, couldn’t care less.
