JADON SANCHO will not be handed a cut-price dream ticket back to Germany.
And even if Borussia Dortmund do meet Manchester United’s asking price, he will have to take a hefty cut on his £275,000-a-week wages.
The Red Devils winger, 24, wants a permanent return to Dortmund after a sparkling loan spell for the Champions League finalists.
United are happy to listen to offers but will not let the 23-cap England man go for less than 75 per cent of the £73million they paid Dortmund for him in 2021.
Sancho, who became a global star in his first four years at the Bundesliga giants, was exiled at Old Trafford in September after falling out with boss Erik ten Hag.
He went to Dortmund in January but his United deal runs to 2026 and there is talk of reconciliation.

If Ten Hag is axed this summer, Sancho may be welcomed back as new technical director Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada worked with him at Manchester City.
Sources also say Ten Hag’s tough stance has softened and could have him back if he stays at Old Trafford.
But much will depend on how much Dortmund offer for their fan favourite and Sancho’s willingness to take a wage cut.
Sancho’s turbulent three-year stint at United has only seen him amassing 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances.

But since returning to Dortmund on loan in January the winger has been regaining his old form.
The forward has already registered three goals and three assists in 20 appearances with the Bundesliga giants.
Sancho has also played a crucial role in BVB’s road to the Champions League final where they will face Real Madrid on June 1 at Wembley.
