The transfer market has never lacked big dramas, and the recent transfer "soap opera" is Sancho. Recently, Giorgio Marota, a senior reporter of Italian media "Roman Sports", revealed that Roma and Manchester United have reached an agreement on the transfer fee (17 million euros), but the transaction has not been officially announced for a long time. The reason is that Sancho himself spoke out loud. Not only did he ask for an annual salary of 6.5 million euros, he also had to pay a commission of up to 10 million euros for the agent. Roma was "scared" at first for such a "funny" requirement, but the coach's choice, Roma's boss Fried was actually satisfied for the first time. Surprisingly, Sancho does not nod and agree to the transfer now, and this transfer is just dead. Brother Sancho, what are you doing!

Let's first clarify the background, why did Fried agree to such a "funny" request. Roma ranked fifth in Serie A last season, and unfortunately missed the Champions League qualification by 1 point, which made the entire senior management determined that they must strengthen this summer. The Friedkins family of the financial owners have promised to give the team enough support in the transfer market. And locking in Sancho is Rome’s signature move to prove that we are about to rise. As an English genius winger who once had a net worth of over 100 million yuan, Sancho still has huge market value. Roma believes that if he can activate his form, the team will immediately improve the wing.

Compared to Rome's ambitions, Manchester United's attitude is more direct, just sell it. Sancho has been completely abandoned by the club. Since his fall with Teng Hahe, he has been basically marginalized, and even if the coach changes to Amorin, he has not regained his trust. Manchester United does not expect to get back the transfer fee of 85 million euros. Now, as long as someone is willing to take over, they are willing to let him go. The 300,000 pounds of the Sancho brother's weekly salary is not a small amount. According to reports, the Red Devils have agreed to let Sancho go for a transfer fee of 17 million euros, and even installments are acceptable. It can be said that Manchester United is now more eager to complete the deal than Roma.

Interestingly, according to the latest news from the Italian media Times' team reporter Lorenzo Pes, Rome actually gritted his teeth and agreed to Sancho's request, and his salary and commission were both satisfied. But the problem is: Sancho still didn't nod. What is Sancho’s real purpose? In fact, the logic behind it is not complicated. Sancho has no plans to transfer completely at present, and his intention is to "drag" Manchester United to death.

First, his contract with Manchester United is only last year. If he chooses to transfer now, it is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to become a free agent next summer. By then, he could have received a high signing fee.

Secondly, if you transfer to Roma, even if your salary is not low, there is still a gap compared to Manchester United's current treatment. Once the economic accounts are settled, he would rather not move. Therefore, the optimal solution is wait. When the transfer window was last moment, Manchester United was forced to accept the loan plan and bear part of the salary. In this way, he can not only ensure that his income does not shrink, but also gain opportunities to play on loan and stay in shape, leaving him freely next summer, killing two birds with one stone.

From this perspective, the so-called annual salary of 6.5 million + 10 million commission is probably just a "shield" set by Sancho, with the purpose of scaring away Rome and causing a random miscarriage of transactions. But unexpectedly, Rome took these conditions and put him in an embarrassing situation of being in a difficult situation. If he promises to join Rome now, he will feel that he is at a disadvantage in the financial account; if he refuses, his professional reputation may completely collapse. After all, Rome has shown enough sincerity. If he still refuses, the outside world will inevitably think that he lacks professionalism and only cares about personal interests.

For Manchester United, this situation is simply tormented and is being controlled by Sancho. The senior executives of the Red Devils wanted to invite this "good master" away as soon as possible to avoid continuing to bear high-paying idle people, but the players' attitude made them almost helpless. If they really delay the transfer window and close, they are very likely to be forced to accept the loan plan and even have to bear most of their salary. The final result is: they lose their wife and their soldiers.
