MANCHESTER CITY are set to pocket £11million this summer, if Jadon Sancho moves to rivals Manchester United.
The Borussia Dortmund star left the Etihad for Germany back in 2017, turning down a £30,000-a-week deal at just 17 in the hunt for first-team football.

Now 21, SunSport has revealed that Sancho is set for a return to the North West.. with City’s fierce rivals United.
But while the Sky Blues will have to watch one of their own cross the divide, they will at least profit financially.
According to the Mirror, Dortmund included a 15 per cent sell on clause in the deal that initially took Sancho to Germany.
The clause is active in any deal that costs more than the £8m that the Bundesliga side paid to sign the England ace.
United have already agreed on personal terms with Sancho.
The Red Devils are set to award the wing wizard a £350,000 five-year deal at Old Trafford.
But United chiefs still have to agree on a fee with Dortmund.
They won’t have to pay anything like the £108m that was being demanded of them last year.

But they will still have to up their initial £61m bid.
Dortmund want £78m, with a further £10m in add-ons.
United are expected to haggle over the structure of the fee, preferring to pay in instalments.
Dortmund want any potential deal to be concluded by the time they jet out for their pre-season training camp on July 23.
Speaking to talkSPORT regarding his future this week, Sancho was asked if he could be distracted by the move during the Euros.
He said: “No, I’m cool about it. It’s just how you handle that on the pitch, so just keep doing what you’re doing.
“If you keep doing that then I’m sure it won’t be a problem because the main thing is my football and that’s what I’m focused on at the moment.”
