Man United 'still significantly short of BVB's Sancho valuation'

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are still a 'significant' way apart in terms of their valuation of Jadon Sancho, according to a report.

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly still a 'significant' way apart when it comes to agreeing a price tag for England international Jadon Sancho.

The 21-year-old has allegedly already agreed personal terms with the 20-time English champions over a proposed five-year contract at Old Trafford.

However, Man United are yet to settle on a transfer fee with Dortmund, and according to The Mirror, the two teams are nowhere near coming to an agreement when it comes to the price.

The report claims that the Bundesliga giants want £80m for Sancho, but the Red Devils are only prepared to pay £60m at this stage due to the nature of the market.

Both sides are said to be open to compromise, although the structure of the payment is still believed to be a major problem, with Man United thought to want to split the fee over five years.

Sancho, who was valued at £108m by BVB during last summer's transfer window, scored 16 times and contributed 20 assists in 38 appearances at club level last term.

The attacker was selected in the England squad for Euro 2020 but has not played a single minute in their opening two matches of the competition against Croatia and Scotland.
