JADON SANCHO has signed a bumper Borussia Dortmund deal in a bid to fend off Manchester United, according to reports.
The England winger was chased by the Red Devils over the summer following his outstanding season last campaign.
Sancho, 19, is believed to have signed a new long-term deal that will see him pocket £190,000-a-week.
It is a huge increase on his former contract that saw him earn £75,000 until the summer of 2022.
Dortmund were keen to reward Sancho after he refused to leave the Bundesliga side following interest across Europe including from Paris Saint-Germain.
He has started the season in frightening form having scored and assisted in their opening league clash while also scoring against Bayern in the German Super Cup.
His new contract will mean that United will need to fork out way more than the initial £100million they were willing to pay in the summer.
Sancho was named as the fifth most valuable player in world football, according to the CIES Football Observatory.
