Borussia Dortmund have told Manchester United that it makes no sense to bid less than € 120 million for Jadon Sancho after discussions between the clubs on Tuesday. United were preparing a € 90 million offer for the England international, but were told it would not be enough and that Dortmund do not want to sell.
United are desperate to strengthen Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s squad ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline and Sancho has been the number one target all summer. There were hopes that Dortmund’s stance would soften closer to the end of the window, but that has not proven to be the case.
Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembélé is another interesting United player, but for the moment the Premier League club would only be prepared to take the French international on loan for one season. Liverpool and Juventus have shown interest in the former Borussia Dortmund winger but he doesn’t want to leave.
Even if United made an offer for the 23-year-old that Barcelona accepted, it would be very difficult to convince the player to move to England.
United have had a frustrating transfer window, but have signed Donny van de Beek from Ajax for £ 34.7m (€ 38m) and are hoping to close a deal for Porto left-back Alex Telles. However, Solskjær said this week that it would be disrespectful for Van de Beek to say United have had a bad transfer window.
“I think you [the questioner] Show a little disrespect to Donny when you say that [may be] the only one because he is a great player and strengthens our team and of course we have to focus on ourselves, ”said the Norwegian. “The different clubs should be able to do everything they do and feel they can. We are working hard to have a competitive squad and squad. Whenever there are updates, we will give them to you. “
Sancho was not in Dortmund’s call-up to face Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup on Wednesday after a “respiratory infection,” according to Dortmund, adding that the 20-year-old was tested for Covid-19 this week and the result came. negative back.
Meanwhile, Leicester are close to signing Wesley Fofana from Saint-Étienne after reaching a € 40m deal for the central defender.
The 19-year-old has also come under fire from West Ham, but Leicester had the wherewithal to make an acceptable offer including add-ons, and personal terms have been agreed. – Guardian
