Manchester United will have to pay full price if they want to make Jadon Sancho’s dreams a reality this summer, with Borussia Dortmund set to demand £100m.
United completed a spectacular turnaround on Sunday after a miserable first half of the season, beating Leicester 2-0 to claim a Champions League spot and ensuring they will be far more attractive to potential signings.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have been strongly liked to Sancho, with Old Trafford understood to be his preferred destination this summer.

Borussia Dortmund will not lower their price for the winger despite the coronavirus crisis
United are desperate to land the Londoner but could face tough negotiations for the star
Dortmund are sticking by their valuation of the Englishman despite the coronavirus’ impact on football’s finances but are bracing for United to rustle-up the money and steal the 20-year-old, according to Kicker.
The winger is set for a return to training on Thursday as Dortmund prepare for next season, hoping to challenge Bayern Munich once again after the dominant Bavarians stormed to the 2019-20 title.
Sancho’s exit would be a blow to that target, with the forward contributing a stunning 20 goals and 20 assists in 44 games during what is expected to be his final season in Germany.

Dortmund have already been putting their brilliant scouts to work to find a replacement, with kickr adding that Jonathan Ikone of Lille is a potential target.
Lille’s reputation as a talent factory is proven, having produced the likes of Eden Hazard and Frank Ribery from their youth ranks.
