Jadon Sancho 'will only be let go for a lot of money' says expert
Manchester United are continuing to work on a deal for Jadon Sancho and there is optimism that the deal could happen in the coming weeks. Borussia Dortmund have already set a deadline for August 10 as they look to rush United into a deal, to avoid disruption to their new season.

But as part of the agreement, United will be told if any other club make an offer but they do not have first refusal on the winger.
It has been suggested that Dortmund could spend around £40million on Depay.

"Each time there's only a year left on a contract, the conversation over a renewal becomes rather difficult. But I think that he's really happy in Lyon at the moment."
Depay has just one year remaining on his current deal and is unlikely to sign another contract extension with Lyon.
That could see him leave for around £30million this summer, but given Dortmund's need to replace Sancho, Lyon may look to capitalise on their desperation.
Sancho is patiently awaiting to resolve his future while on his holidays and is thought to be keen on a return to England.
