Manchester United have reportedly been informed that they will have to pay £81.5m to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho during this summer's transfer window.
The 20-time English champions were strongly linked with the 21-year-old last year but were not prepared to meet BVB's asking price, which was thought to be £108m.
Man United are believed to have reignited their interest in the England international and appear determined to push through a deal in the upcoming market.
According to The Mirror, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have been told that they will need to come up with an offer of £81.5m to secure his signature in the coming weeks.
The report claims that personal terms have already been agreed, but the two clubs are still in negotiations over the structure of the payment, with BVB keen to receive most of the money up front.
Sancho, who is currently with the England squad preparing for Euro 2020, scored 16 goals and registered 20 assists in 38 appearances at club level during the 2020-21 campaign.
