United reportedly in touch with Jadon Sancho's agent, transfer fee may prove a problem

According to Sky Sports' Fabrizio Romano, arguably a reputable source, Manchester United have been in contact with Jadon Sancho's agent for two months and they are working on his contract.

However, the issue is that it's quite difficult to communicate with Borussia Dortmund amid the coronavirus outbreak. Besides, the Bundesliga side would ask nothing less than €100m for the gem. The Reds will find it hard to agree on the fee.

Nevertheless, United know that they want the player and they are confident that they will be able to seal the deal.

Sancho had a breakthrough season last term. The 19-year-old made 43 appearances across all competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing 19 assists.

Jadon doesn't seem to be slowing down this campaign either. In 35 matches so far, the winger has recorded a solid tally of 17 goals and 19 assists, including 14 goals and 16 assists in 23 Bundesliga fixtures.

Despite such a young age, the former Manchester City Academy kid is already a regular for England. The wonderkid has won 11 international caps. Last September, the attacker scored his debut goal for the Three Lions - a brace in the 5-3 win over Kosovo in the UEFA Euro 2020 qualification.
