Jadon Sancho 'still likely to leave Borussia Dortmund for Manchester United'

Sancho 'still likely to leave Dortmund'

Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho is allegedly still likely to sign for Manchester United this summer.

Given the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, it remains to be seen whether United will be prepared to spend £100m on one player.

A previous report has indicated that the Premier League giants deem it unrealistic to pay such a fee during the current climate.

However, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic, the England international is still expected to arrive at Old Trafford later in 2020.

Speaking on the Ornstein & Chapman podcast, he said: "Sancho was expecting to move this summer and there's still a very high chance that will happen.

"There's an understanding between Sancho and Borussia Dortmund that if the right price arrives that he can go and there's no expectation that Dortmund wouldn't honour that, they're said to be very honourable in these sort of situations.

"They're looking for no less than €120m (£107.7m), some say to me no less than €130m (£116.6m), and that certainly the figure that they want is around what they received or agreed for Ousmane Dembele."

With Sancho having just over two years left on his contract, United will likely insist on paying less than Dortmund's alleged valuation.
