According to Sport 1’s information, Dortmund have backed down from the €120m demands they were making last summer and now want a deal worth around €90m.

BVB and Manchester United are ‘working on an agreement’, and according to reports in England, United want a deal sorted before June 11^th, the start of the European Championships.

Sport 1 don’t confirm whether that is the case, but their last report stated Sancho had basically agreed on a deal with the Red Devils on the terms of a contract, which have been defined since last summer.

Their latest information, however, states that ‘all parties are optimistic’ and working on a good solution, something sources close to the player in England and Germany have confirmed.

The main stumbling block, like last summer, is Dortmund’s asking price, and it remains to be seen if Manchester United are happy to pay €90m this time around.
