Manchester United are reportedly open to meeting Borussia Dortmund’s valuation of Jadon Sancho in order to bring him at Old Trafford this summer.

Sancho has been heavily linked with a return to England, with United touted as heavy favourites to bring him back to the Premier League.

However, the fee set to be involved in the deal has been the hurdle for both clubs with an agreement yet to be reached for the player.

Dortmund value the 20-year-old in excess of £100 million and are unwilling to sell for anything less their value – an amount the Red Devils are reportedly be unwilling to pay for the England international.

But per the latest reports from German outlet Bild, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are now ready to splash the cash in order to bring in their summer target for next season.

The publication also adds that United willing to pay the £108 million in three installments, with the first being set set at £63m this summer. The report writes that a further £27m would be given to Dortmund in 12 months time, with the remaining £18m due in 2022.

Negotiations look to have gotten to relevant stage with both parties keen to strike a deal before the start of the 2020/21 campaign.

Sancho was a phenomenal squad member at the Signal Iduna Park last season, scoring 20 goals and adding 20 assists across all competitions for Lucien Favre’s side.

His addition will be a good option for the Premier League side who have struggled this season at the right wing position, with Daniel James, Juan Mata and Mason Greenwood or being deployed in that role.

United are also said to be keeping a close eye on Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish as they look to add quality squad depth to the team next season, as Champion League football looks set to return to Old Trafford.
