Borussia Dortmund are reportedly ready to end the most tedious transfer saga of the year and accept a lower price for Jadon Sancho.

Barely an hour can go by without an update on Sancho's potential move to Manchester United, which at one point seemed inevitable, but the Premier League side are yet to land their number one target.

Time is running out for them to come to terms, with the transfer window closing on Monday night, but, according to the Sun, it could soon be over.

The outlet reports that Dortmund could be willing to lower their demands from £108 million to £95 million, with at least £80 million up front and the rest in add ons.

The same report also claims that the player believes he will be a United player by the time the window shuts at 11pm on Monday.

A source told the paper, "He wants this deal done. He's told his agent and various advisors to do all they can to make it happen.

"They are pushing for him."

Dortmund had previously been unwilling to accept United's reportedly lower offers, which haven't come close to the German side's valuation despite them being clear what it was.

There was initially a deadline for August 10th and, once the English club couldn't agree terms with the Bundesliga side for the 20-year-old, the would be selling club claimed the player wouldn't move.

Another source claimed that it's now just a case of seeing who loses the staring contesting, saying, "There's a bit of a stand off going on... it's a case of who blinks first.

"Will United up the offer or will Dortmund accept a lower bid?

"The Red Devils are considering making a final bid for the young star on Wednesday in the hope of forcing the deal across the line."

So far this season Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has only added Donny van de Beek to his squad, whose agent is already annoyed isn't getting enough game time.

The side have struggled already and lost their opening game to Crystal Palace, before needing a controversial late penalty to defeat Brighton.

They have also been heavily linked with Alex Telles whilst Ousmane Dembele seems to be plan b if they can't get Sancho in the next few days.

At this point everybody just wants this saga to come to an end, one way or the other!
