From England’s Wonderkid to a 'Pay-Per-Game Player': Sancho’s Roma Redemption — Opportunity or Trap?_Manchester United_Manchester City_Borussia Dortmund

When Roma once again turned their attention to Sancho and offered a contract with a 'pay-per-appearance' structure, the entire football world was stirred. The former England wonderkid who was once valued at over 100 million euros now has to rely on 'getting paid for each match he plays' to continue his career. The disappointment and helplessness behind this situation may be understood best by Sancho himself.

Sancho’s career is like a novel that started brilliantly but declined later. In 2017, he joined Borussia Dortmund from Manchester City for a transfer fee of 8 million euros, beginning his Bundesliga success story. During his three seasons at Dortmund, he produced outstanding statistics of 38 goals and 45 assists, becoming one of the most highly sought-after young wingers in European football. In 2021, Manchester United brought him back to the Premier League for a huge fee of 85 million euros. Everyone expected him to continue his story at Old Trafford, but no one anticipated that this would become a turning point in his career.
