Manchester United stands to make a significant profit from Jadon Sancho’s success in the Champions League while playing for Dortmund.
Manchester United are set to receive a significant financial boost thanks to Borussia Dortmund’s success in the UEFA Champions League. As part of the loan deal for Jadon Sancho, United will receive payments as Dortmund advances in the competition. The German club recently defeated Atletico Madrid to secure a spot in the semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain. Sancho joined Dortmund on loan from United in January, and the clauses in the deal have now been met. If Dortmund continues to progress in the Champions League, the amount United receives could rise to £3.4 million.
In other news, Zinedine Zidane is reportedly more interested in joining Manchester United than taking over at Bayern Munich. The Frenchman has been without a job since 2021 but is now considering a return to club football. Bayern Munich is in the market for a new manager to replace Thomas Tuchel, who will be leaving at the end of the season. While they had initially been keen on re-hiring Julian Nagelsmann, he has recently signed a new contract with the German national team. This has led to speculation about Zidane, who has been linked with various roles in the past. Zidane is said to be intrigued by the project at Old Trafford, especially with the recent arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team.
However, there are also reports suggesting that Zidane could be heading to Bayern Munich. The Daily Mail states that speculation is mounting about Zidane becoming the new manager at Bayern. The club is in need of a replacement for Tuchel, and Nagelsmann is no longer available. Bayern Munich’s director, Max Eberl, has revealed that they are closing in on appointing a new manager, with Zidane being the top choice. Zidane has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, but it seems his time away from the dugout will come to an end this summer.
Meanwhile, Chelsea could be facing the departure of two central defenders. The Telegraph reports that both Trevoh Chalobah and Thiago Silva are likely to leave the club. Chalobah recently made an impressive challenge on Kevin De Bruyne during Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City. However, it seems that his future at the club is uncertain, along with Silva’s. The situation will be worth monitoring as Chelsea moves forward.
