Jadon Sancho to Manchester United continues to rumble on in both the German and English sport media, with reports from the media closer to the Bundesliga sounding confident about a move.

Bild say the transfer is now in the ‘home stretch’ and Sancho is ‘finally’ on the verge of a move to Old Trafford after a long, and frankly irritating, transfer saga.

The German newspaper believe Manchester United will end up paying around €90m for the player, and they explain Borussia Dortmund already have plans for where the money will go.

Given the damage the Covid-19 crisis has caused to BVB’s finances, a big chunk of the money will go towards filling that financial hole. More exciting for fans of the Dortmund club is finding a replacement for Sancho.

Once again it’s stated Donyell Malen is the first choice for that role, however, BVB don’t want to pay a crazy fee and won’t go any higher than €27m.

PSV may well see what Borussia Dortmund have done with Sancho and believe they can get a little more from the German side, playing them at their own game.

Ruhr Nachrichten, the newspaper closest to BVB, cover claims about a Sancho deal being close and, crucially, this time they don’t rubbish it… which is cause for optimism.
