Borussia Dortmund 'ready to accept £73m Manchester United bid for Jadon Sancho'

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly poised to accept a third bid of €85m (£73m) from Manchester United for attacker Jadon Sancho.

The former Manchester City youth product has been the subject of speculation surrounding a move to Old Trafford for over a year now, as Dortmund refused to budge on their £108m asking price last summer.

However, the Red Devils have reignited their interest in Sancho this time around, and Dortmund are thought to have lowered their demands for the England attacker given the need to raise funds.

According to SPORT1 reporter Patrick Berger, Dortmund are ready to accept an offer of £73m from Man United for Sancho after turning down two previous bids of €72m (£61.8m) and €78m (£67m).

Berger adds that Ed Woodward and Hans-Joachim Watzke have held positive talks over the last few days, and the two parties will now seek to finalise details relating to add-ons and instalments.

Sancho was named on the bench for England's Euro 2020 last-16 clash with Germany on Tuesday, and he registered 36 goal contributions (16 goals, 20 assists) in Dortmund colours last term.
