MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Jadon Sancho, having agreed personal terms.
Reports in Germany outline a five-year contract being accepted by the England winger.
Sancho will earn a basic wage of £350,000-a-week in Manchester, according to Bild.
The deal therefore hangs on United’s ability to agree a fee with Borussia Dortmund for the 20-year-old – with an asking price of £108million.
The Bundesliga side are described as not moving an inch on their valuation of Sancho, who has two years left to run on his current deal.
And Dortmund want any deal sorted by August 10, when they head to Switzerland for a pre-season training camp.
English media believe negotiations have ramped up in recent days.
As suggested in Germany, United could opt to pay the £108m asking price across installments – something Borussia are said to be happy with.

That would mean paying £63m up front, helping with the club’s management of the coronavirus crisis, before further payments of £27m and £18m.
Bonuses based on winning the Premier League and Champions League have also been discussed.
Sancho is back in training after his current side’s pre-season began on Monday, going up against former United target Jude Bellingham.
The winger is described as happy to continue in Germany if a transfer cannot be agreed between the two clubs, and no official offer is said to have landed at this point.
