What the papers say
Manchester United are preparing to fight Paris St Germain for Jadon Sancho, which could lead to the Borussia Dortmund winger becoming the first £100million English footballer, the Daily Telegraph claims. The 18-year-old is the top summer forward target for both clubs after impressing following his £8million move to Dortmund in August 2017 and the Bundesliga leaders know interest from both clubs will drive his price higher, the paper says.

The Sun says reports in Italy suggest the Premier League rivals have all identified the Spaniard as a summer target, with Real president Florentino Perez ready to offload the 26-year-old at the end of the season. Juventus are also said to be keen on the midfielder.
