Manchester United’s Latest Jadon Sancho Bid Has Been Rejected By Borussia Dortmund

Manchester United's whopping €100m (£91m) bid for Jadon Sancho has been rejected by Borussia Dortmund, according to stunning reports.

The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the Dortmund star in the summer and remain keen to push through a deal before the international transfer window closes on 5th October.

But Sancho's current employers are playing hardball with United and are holding out for a bid in the excess of £100m.

Sky Sports' Bryan Swanson now reports that the German club have turned down United's latest offer for Sancho, whose current deal expires in 2023.

According to reports, the initial offer United submitted was €80m with various add-ons that would take the deal up to €100m.

Dortmund had previously set a 10th August deadline for United to sign Sancho, who has been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's No 1 target this summer.

Sancho, 20, has not travelled with Dortmund for their DFL-Supercup showdown with fierce rivals Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

Dortmund tweeted out that the England international has a respiratory infection, but he tested negative for coronavirus on Monday.

Dortmund captain Marco Reus squashed the idea that Sancho would leave for Old Trafford by insisting that his teammate will stay for at least one more season.

The 31-year-old Germany international told Sky Sports: "We all were happy that he will be with us for one more year because he delivers assists and goals, so we get points.

"If he gets as big as [Lionel] Messi or [Cristiano] Ronaldo, we will see.

"He needs time, experience and it will be important how he manages the times when things don't go so well. But he has the confidence and the quality."
