Another report by The Athletic suggests that Sancho is the top priority for Man United this transfer window. The Old Trafford outfit will strive hard to ensure that the Sancho transfer materialises. Although, the two clubs are far from reaching an agreement for the England international, with agreement on several aspects yet to be reached. 

According to an early report by Sport Bild, Dortmund have fixed €120 million ($136 million) as the asking price for the Jadon Sancho transfer.

Keeping in view the potential of Sancho to succeed in Europe, Dortmund have placed another demand for Man United that could make or break the deal for the winger. Reports suggest that the Bundesliga giants will agree to a deal with the Red Devils only if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side qualify for the Champions League next season.
