Borussia Dortmund are reportedly willing to accept a lower sum of money for Manchester United target Jadon Sancho in a bid to balance the books this summer.

Borussia Dortmund could reportedly be forced to lower their asking price for Manchester United target Jadon Sancho.

The former Manchester City youngster was the talk of the summer transfer window regarding a move to United, but he stayed put at the Westfalenstadion after the Red Devils failed to stump up Dortmund's £108m asking price.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are expected to reignite their interest in the England international this summer, and they are reportedly set to be joined by Chelsea and Liverpool in the race for his services.

According to Sport1, Dortmund's significant financial losses in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic could force the Bundesliga giants to demand a lower fee for Sancho.

The report claims that Dortmund know the sale of Sancho will be a huge help in their attempts to balance the books, but they realise that no club is likely to shell out a nine-figure sum in the current economic climate.

The attacker endured a slow start to the 2020-21 campaign, but he nevertheless boasts six goals and 13 assists across all competitions for Edin Terzic's side this term.
