And Dortmund are adamant that they have not had any contact with United over a deal for Sancho.
Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke explained: "There has never been an offer for Jadon, but we have pre-emptively given the minimum of what should be paid.
"So far, there has been no contact between Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United in terms of Sancho, either indirectly or through alleged intermediaries."
Contrary to them comments Express Sport understands Sancho is happy to pen a five-year contract and would take home a reported £350,000-a-week if he makes the switch.
Sancho was spotted in the UK over the weekend but Dortmund denited there was anything going on.
Dortmund's director of media and communication Sascha Fligge insists the former Manchester City winger is due to report back to training on Monday.
"It's common and fine for players to go home before a training camp if they're not risky," Fligge said.
"The same goes for Jadon [Sancho]. From our point of view, the pictures that have been shown to us so far do not violate."
