Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club will receive £11.2m once Jadon Sancho‘s move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United has been officially confirmed.
The 21-year-old still needs to undergo a medical with the Red Devils before the transfer is announced, but he is expected to arrive at Old Trafford for a fee of £72.9m.
According to The Telegraph, Man City will earn £11.2m from the deal, with the Premier League champions receiving 15% of the transfer fee due to the terms inserted into Sancho’s move to BVB in 2017.
The report claims that Pep Guardiola’s side will receive £9.74m as the 15%, while they will also be paid £1.46m due to the part that they played in Sancho’s development.
The England international represented Man City between 2015 and 2017 but did not make a first-team appearance for the Citizens and joined Dortmund for £8m ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra and City Chief, many Man City fans have have been expressing their thoughts and opinions, with a lot of fans praising the club director Txiki Begiristain for the ‘Excellent business’.

So including the 10 million we sold him for, we’ve made over 20 million? Not bad for a 17 year old who didn’t want to be here.
