Manchester United want to swap Sancho for this $70 million Barcelona star

Many changes will happen at Manchester United soon. Rumors indicate that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will pay more than $1.3 billion for 25% of the club and take over soccer-related decisions. This means he will hire a sporting director and evaluate what is best to do with coach Erik Ten Hag and the squad's players.

But regardless of what happens, one thing seems clear: Jadon Sancho will leave the club in the next transfer window. The English winger played his last game in August and since then has not been considered by the Dutch manager, after a public quarrel they had at the beginning of September when Ten Hag decided not to call him up for a game against Arsenal.

Considering that the Red Devils paid $90 million for him just a couple of years ago, it is logical that they are looking to recoup at least part of that investment. That's why they are thinking about a transfer to another club. Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and teams from Saudi Arabia were mentioned as possible destinations for Jadon, but nothing has happened so far.

However, there is another alternative that could work. According to Sport newspaper, Manchester United are interested in Raphinha, Barcelona's Brazilian winger, and could include Sancho in the negotiation. This could work, as Los Blaugranas are also interested in a forward and the English player has been mentioned on several occasions as an option.

How much is he worth?

Raphinha arrived at Barcelona in the summer of 2022 from Leeds United. There he had shown excellent performances and that is why the Catalan side agreed to pay more than $70 million for him. Considering that Jadon Sancho was worth $90 million a year earlier, perhaps the exchange between the two players will be considered equitable by both clubs and the deal will become a reality.
