Think we did all we could to keep him. We could have doubled his current salary and he still would of left. Like when Raheem left Liverpool to join us and win trophies, he refused very high wages there because he wasn’t leaving for money, he was leaving for sporting reasons.
Sancho didn’t leave us for money, he left for sporting reasons. At Dortmund his main competition was a 20 year old Pulisic and perma injured Rues, he backed himself. At City he would never play ahead of Sane, Sterling, Bernardo etc. He would of got some cup games and even amazing performances wouldn’t earn him starts in the league or CL because the competition is simply too high. So he did the right thing and left. Don’t why so many fail to understand that.
There was nothing more the club could of done. I believe we have first option and a sell on clause. Rumors of buyback option as well but I doubt we have that because it would be too good to be true.
