MANCHESTER UNITED are still in talks to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho this summer, according to reports.
The Europa League finalists have been linked with the England winger for some time and are the bookies’ favourites to sign him.
According to Sky Sports, ‘United represents the most realistic destination’ for Sancho this summer.
It is believed Dortmund will accept around £80million for the player, significantly less than their previous reported asking price of £108m.
The transfer fee is expected to be the biggest stumbling block, with personal terms between United and Sancho’s representatives already rumoured to be agreed.
Dortmund are believed to have identified Lille’s Jonathan Ikone and Monaco’s Sofiane Diop as potential replacements for the Englishman.
Several top European clubs have been linked with Sancho, including Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea.
And it’s easy to see why as he’s been in good form this term, scoring 16 goals in all competitions and helping Dortmund win the German Cup.
And his club colleague Erling Haaland could also be on the move, although he has promised to be ‘respectful’ towards his Dortmund contract.
The Norwegian forward is believed to have a £66m release clause in his existing deal that comes into force next summer.

Several clubs – including Chelsea – have been linked with Haaland as a result of the alleged clause and his representatives were spotted in Barcelona in April.

Haaland will not feature at Euro 2020 after Norway failed to qualify but Sancho might as the England star has been named in Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad for the tournament.
