Sancho to join Man Utd on top 5 Premier League wages | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho will join Manchester United as one of the Premier League's highest paid players should he eventually sign.

United and Dortmund remain at loggerheads over a fee for Sancho with the German giants rejecting a £67million bid on Thursday, as they demand £80m to part ways with their No 7.

Despite this setback, the Old Trafford outfit have agreed personal terms with Sancho. The Guardian says the 21-year-old is set to be handed a five-year deal worth around £350,000-a-week.

The England international would become the second-highest earner at the club - just shy of goalkeeper David de Gea's £375,000-a-week deal.

In fact, Sancho's astronomical contract would see him move into the top five highest earners in the English top flight - joining De Gea, Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£350,000) and Manchester City's Raheem Sterling (£300,000). Sterling's team-mate Kevin De Bruyne rounds out this list having signed improved terms on his old £300,000-a-week deal back in April.
