According to Simon Stone of BBC Sport, the Bundesliga club are holding out for €90m plus a further €5m in add-ons.

€78m bid from @ManUtd for Jadon Sancho turned down by BVB. They want €90 + 5 and a shorter repayment period than the five years suggested. That is not a massive gap but needs closing. Pre-existing gentleman’s agreement in place with player if fee met by right timescale.

Dortmund are also demanding a shorter repayment period than the five years United are currently offering.

It’s understood that Sancho has a pre-existing gentleman’s agreement with BVB to leave this summer, should their conditions be met (price and time).

The 21-year-old was a standout performer last season, scoring 16 goals and assisting 14 in 38 appearances.
