Manchester United in talks for Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele, after £91.3m bid for Sancho was rejected by Borussia Dortmund.
United working on four alternative options – Dembele, Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, Real Madrid’s Luka Jovic and free agent Edinson Cavani.
Manchester United are in talks with Barcelona over a loan deal for Ousmane Dembele, while the Premier League club are also considering an improved offer for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
United are keen to sign a winger during this transfer window and, while their first choice is Sancho, Dembele represents a strong alternative.
The 23-year-old was a club-record signing for Barcelona when he arrived from Borussia Dortmund for €105m (£95.75m) in August 2017.
The France international is one of four alternative options United are working on if they are unable to sign Sancho, along with Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, Real Madrid’s Luka Jovic and free agent Edinson Cavani.
On Tuesday, United had a bid for Sancho worth up to £91.3m (€100m) rejected by Borussia Dortmund. The offer was for an initial £73m, rising to up to £91.3m, which fell short of Dortmund’s £108m valuation.
United are now considering whether to return with an improved bid for the England international.
