Borussia Dortmund had earlier set a transfer deadline date of the 10th of August by which Manchester United had to complete the signing of Jadon Sancho or else they would refuse to let him leave this summer.
But it seems like the German outfit are gradually softening their tone, according to the Independent.
The report claims: “Manchester United are closing in on the deadline given by Borussia Dortmund to complete their signing of Jadon Sancho, with the Bundesliga club wanting talks wrapped up by Sunday or else they will shut down transfer talks and start preparing for next season with the Englishman in their squad.
“However, German podcast Ruhr Nachrichten reports this morning that Dortmund are willing to extend that deadline by 10 days to 20 August to allow a deal to go through, with an agreement yet to be reached on a fee for what would be the most expensive British transfer in history.
“Previously, the Manchester Evening News reported that Dortmund imposed a deadline of the 10 August to complete the move, although United officials took that with a pinch of salt in the knowledge that the transfer window doesn’t close until 5 October.”
Will BVB refuse to sell Jadon Sancho this summer?
Borussia Dortmund have finally come to the realization that they cannot be the driving force in this deal as apart from Manchester United, no other club are eager to sign Jadon Sancho right now.
If Man United back out from this deal, no major European outfit will be ready to pay the demanded 110 million pounds for the England international.
And this is the prime reason why the Bundesliga are willing to extend their personal deadline date so that Man United can take more time and make a formal offer.
Recent reports have suggested that the Premier League side had already made a formal bid but Dortmund’s top management have since come out to rebuff all those claims.
