Man Utd pushing to close Sancho deal with BVB this weekend

Manchester United are pushing to close a deal with Borussia Dortmund this weekend for Jadon Sancho.

The Daily Mail says the two clubs are around £10million apart after United had an opening offer rejected for the 21 year-old England winger.

United tabled a £67m bid with add-ons which pushed the value just past £75m. But Dortmund are holding out for a total package in the region of £86m.

Discussions continued on Friday with the Bundesliga club hoping to work in some more achievable add-ons which would mean a larger portion of United's offer is effectively guaranteed.

With personal terms on a five-year deal and agents fees all but finalised, there is an optimism that an agreement for Sancho is not far off and can be finalised at the second attempt this summer.

Dortmund wanted £108m for Sancho last year but their lower valuation this time around has helped bring the two clubs closer to reaching a deal.
