Borussia Dortmund reportedly set €100 million price tag on Jadon Sancho

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly willing to part ways with Jadon Sancho for a fee of 100 million euros this summer. This is being reported by ESPN, who add that there isn’t a deadline as to when any potential deal must be completed by.
The fee is less than the asking price of 120 million euros Borussia Dortmund wanted for Sancho last summer. Manchester United were said to be interested in signing the England international, but failed to meet the demands set by the Black and Yellows.
In the end, Sancho stayed at the Signal Iduna Park and has been one of the team’s best performers since the turn of the year. The former Manchester City winger has scored 12 goals and provided 18 assists in 34 appearances this season.
It remains to be seen if Manchester United will renew their interest in signing Sancho this summer. The 21 year old has two years left on his Borussia Dortmund contract. BVB sporting director Michael Zorc told Sport1 on Sunday that certain conditions need to be met for Sancho to leave the club, with timing and transfer sum being the decisive parameters.
"“This gentleman’s agreement between Jadon and us – as you all know – already existed last summer, and nothing has changed. We set certain conditions that would have to be met for Jadon to leave the club. The timing and the sum were and are the decisive parameters.”"
Sport1 claim that the BVB bosses would be open to selling Sancho for a fee in the range of 85-90 million euros. The report further adds that Dortmund have long been on the lookout for a replacement.
But Memphis Depay, who has been linked with a move to Dortmund in recent months, is no longer a target. While a transfer for Donyell Malen (another reported target) could also prove to be difficult, due to the high asking price set by PSV Eindhoven (40 million euros).
