Manchester United have reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of Jadon Sancho.
It is understood a fee of just under £73 million has been agreed between the two parties with the England international now set to undergo a medical before the transfer is completed.
The two clubs have been negotiating over a fee for a few months, with Dortmund rejecting United’s bid of £67m at the start of the month.
Negotiations have continued over the last month between the two sides as they attempted to confirm a fee and also come to an agreement on how the full sum will be paid, with a percentage expected to be in add ons.
Unlike last summer where an agreement couldn’t be reached, there was continued optimism from the United side this summer that a deal could be finalised.
Dortmund had a gentleman’s agreement in place with Sancho that he could leave should a buying club come up with their asking price, and the Bundesliga side have stuck to their word and let the England international leave.
It is believed the fee is £72.9m with no add ons.
Sancho will now have to undergo a medical to complete his transfer, which is expected to happen after Sancho has finished international duty with England.
He has not been starting for Gareth Southgate’s side but still remains a part of their squad as they prepare for their quarter-final versus Ukraine.
