Manchester United may eventually let Sancho leave for free! Hope Anthony shines in La Liga and earns more money

Manchester United rented Sancho to Aston Villa in the summer window, and the club's senior management hoped that he would perform well at Villa Park, so that the club might use the one-year renewal clause in the contract, so as to strive to sell him next year and earn a transfer fee. However, "Football Insider" reported that it was just a dream under ideal conditions, and the Red Devils were more likely to have to allow Sancho to leave for free tomorrow summer.

Sancho left on September 1st and rented out to Villa, who bears 80% of the player's salary, plus some terms, up to a maximum of all his salary. The 25-year-old England winger's current contract expires in June 2026, with Manchester United signing him from Dortmund in 2021.

Premier League financial adviser Stefan Bolson analyzed: "I think Sancho's performance is indeed a bit bad, because Manchester United finally fell into a situation where they thought they could sell him to Chelsea for £25 million, but they only received a return of £5 million, which was almost close to his salary for the whole summer. Then for renting this season, Manchester United can get up to 100% of the salary subsidy, which was only 80% at the beginning."

Regarding the statement that Manchester United will activate Sancho's one-year priority renewal clause, Bolson believes that the club will not do this. He analyzed: "Some people say that Manchester United intends to exercise the right of choice just to sell him. I don't believe it at all. The possibility of them doing so is very small. I expect him to transfer freely after the contract is over, and they will basically let him leave for free. For a player who has signed for £73 million, this is not a good deal. Of course, it's not a good deal, but what else can you do? This is a deal of wasted money. The money is gone, no matter how much you pay. Manchester United can only face the reality. It's great to find someone to bear his salary this season. Will it happen again next year?"

If Manchester United wants to get more funds, they may need to rely on Brazilian winger Anthony, who has completely left the team. The "Compass" who also left the team in the summer window successfully realized his dream and joined Real Betis, who joined La Liga. His initial transfer fee was 25 million euros, but Manchester United also received a 50% share of its second transfer in the future.

Betis CEO Ramon Alarcon disclosed to Sevilla's ABC that Manchester United finally offered to them that they were willing to reach a deal, and the jersey sponsor also extended a helping hand, which eventually led to the transfer.

"The difference between the two sides is 5 million to 6 million euros, and we have reached the limit of tolerance. In the end, everyone has made efforts and each makes a move, and the same goes for the players and Manchester United." He said, "Around noon on August 31, Manchester United sent a draft contract for us to make changes and they will be willing to meet our requirements. At 2 a.m. the next day, the problem was finally resolved and we started looking for the plane so that he could arrive on Monday afternoon."

Regarding how sponsors can help the club and Anthony increase their revenue, Betis introduced: "We work with Anthony. He launched a clothing series to earn benefits through royalties, and he can also earn non-sports income from the sale of these goods. If he can really become a world-class star, Betis has the hope of recovering investment costs, including the investment in the previous year. "

He finally commented: "Although there is a certain risk, because this investment needs to be locked in for five years and is costly, the potential returns are also worth looking forward to. The most important thing is that it meets the requirements of the fans, who keep asking Anthony when he will come back."

It is reported that Anthony and Betis have a liquidated damages clause of 50 million to 60 million euros in the contract. If he performs well and is signed by a bigger giant in the future, not only Betis, but Manchester United may also make another profit. There are different opinions on whether Anthony's contract stipulates whether the second transfer fee sharing or the second transfer fee profit sharing. However, even if only profit sharing, if Anthony transfers with liquidated damages, Manchester United can get 12.5 million to 17.5 million euros.
