Man Utd ‘confident’ of Jadon Sancho transfer this summer as Borussia Dortmund star jumps on luxury private jet
JADON SANCHO hopped on a luxury private jet ahead of returning for a new season with Borussia Dortmund - although Manchester United are reportedly confident of signing the winger.
The England international joined footballer pal Chuba Akpom on the jet, posing for photographs published on the former Arsenal striker's Instagram.
After Borussia Dortmund's season came to an end, Sancho, 20, has enjoyed time off in Ibiza while United haggle over his future.
The Red Devils are said by to be increasingly confident of completing a deal.
Moving their interest away from Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish, the club are reportedly alone in chasing Sancho this summer.
No official bid is said to have landed yet, with Dortmund demanding £109million, including £90m up front.
Borussia's pre-season starts on Monday and the Bundesliga side want Sancho's future decided by August 10, when the team heads to Switzerland for a training camp.
It is thought that United would prefer to negotiate a lower fee with the forward's contract expiring in 2022, although that factor is not said to be a worry for Dortmund.
Likewise, Sancho is described as "relaxed" over his future although personal terms will not be a problem should a fee be accepted.
Bagging an exceptional 20 goals and 20 assists last season, the Dortmund star left Manchester City in 2017.
