Manchester United are reportedly working to finalise agent fees before approaching Borussia Dortmund with an offer for England international Jadon Sancho.
The 20-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months although talk of a switch to the Red Devils has quietened over the last few weeks.
Dortmund are adamant that the former Manchester City youngster will not be leaving before the October deadline, but United are still believed to be working on a deal.
According to the Daily Mail, before approaching BVB with an official bid, the 20-time English champions will finalise the salary and fees of the intermediaries involved in the potential move.
Sancho enjoyed an excellent 2019-20 campaign for his German club, scoring 20 times and registering 20 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions.
The attacker is currently with the England squad ahead of their opening two UEFA Nations League matches against Iceland and Denmark on September 5 and September 8 respectively.
