Borussia Dortmund preparing for Jadon Sancho summer auction

Real Madrid have long been linked with a move to the former Manchester City youngster, with a report in Diario AS claiming they were one of a number of clubs in pursuit of the player.

However, the fresh report claims that Manchester United are the team who are leading the chase for his signature this year.

The winger was part of the England side who won the 2017 Under-20 World Cup and left Manchester City to join Dortmund the same summer for €8m.

It now appears his exit from the Bundesliga club may be accelerated, particularly in light of the recent arrival of striker Erling Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg.

Arriving as a replacement for Ousmane Dembélé, who moved to Barcelona for an initial €105m, the 19-year-old has been a revelation at the Bundesliga club and has scored 28 goals for Borussia’s first team.
