MANCHESTER UNITED have submitted a bid worth more than £75million for Jadon Sancho, according to reports.
As revealed by SunSport this month, £350,000-a-week personal terms have already been agreed between the player and the Old Trafford club.
And German newspaper Ruhr Nachrichten state a formal offer has been lodged for United’s No1 summer transfer target.
United have bid an initial £67m for Sancho, with add-ons taking the overall value of the deal to over £75m.
Dortmund, however, want a fee closer to £86m – with more money guaranteed rather than in performance-related bonuses.
This figure is £22m less than the £108m the Bundesliga side wanted last summer when a deal could not be agreed.
But a year on, United are confident of securing a deal for the England wide man who is currently at the Euros.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano added negotiations are still ongoing but the clubs are ‘confident and optimistic’ of reaching an agreement with final details over payments needing ironing out.
Dortmund ideally want Sancho’s future to be sorted out by the middle of July before they head off on their pre-season training camp.
That would in turn give them time to find a replacement in time for the new season.
BETTING SPECIAL: GET CRISTIANO RONALDO TO SCORE VS GERMANY AT 30/1
PSV’s English teenager Noni Madueke is being lined up for a potential swoop.
The former Tottenham youngster and England youth international joined PSV’s academy in 2018 after rejecting United’s offer.
He has progressed into the first team and made 31 appearances in 2020-21, scoring nine goals.
Former Arsenal youngster and Madueke’s PSV team-mate Donyell Malen could also be a target for Dortmund.
The Dutch winger, 22, joined PSV from Arsenal in 2017.
His progression in recent years has been remarkable, racking up 55 goals in 116 appearances and is already the vice-captain of the club.
