Manchester United dropped the plan to sign Jadon Sancho calculating the total cost

Manchester United backed away from signing Jadon Sancho. 

Due to the €120 m forward price of Borussia Dortmund plus his salary demand and the fee his agent, Emeka Obasi, required, the club finalized that the move would cost approximately €250 m ( £ 227 m).

In the coronavirus-affected economic environment, The Guardian claims United, agreed that this was not feasible.

More minor aspects, such as the Premier League’s regular 4 percent tax on any transfer fee and extra expenses, including salaries and national insurance, are often always taken into account by clubs.
