"The decision is final," says Michael Zorc; Dortmund previously indicated they wanted a deal done before their pre-season training camp in Switzerland so they could find a replacement
Manchester United are not giving up on signing Jadon Sancho this summer, despite Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc appearing to rule out a potential transfer.
The England international - who is valued by his club at £108m - has travelled with the Dortmund squad for their pre-season training camp in Switzerland.
As it stands, the transfer fee, agent fees and personal terms with the player all still have to be agreed.
Dortmund and agents are not making talks easy, and any deal would be easier if United could negotiate directly with the German club.
Dortmund previously indicated they wanted a deal completed by the time they headed out for their training camp to give them sufficient time to purchase a replacement, and sporting director Zorc says Sancho will now be staying with the club.
"We plan on having Jadon Sancho in our team this season, the decision is final. I think that answers all our questions," Zorc told reporters on Monday.
He added: "Last summer, we adjusted Jadon's salary to match the development of his performances. So in context, we had already extended his contract until 2023 back then."
United's chances of convincing Sancho to come to Old Trafford will have been enhanced by them qualifying for the Champions League, but they also see the German club's €120m (£108m) valuation for the player under the current coronavirus conditions as "unrealistic" for a player who Dortmund themselves signed for £7.2m three years ago.
The club are also unwilling to break their wage structure for the 20-year-old following the unsuccessful transfer of Alexis Sanchez.
United have completed big-money moves for Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes in the last two transfer windows but feel the environment for deals has shifted since the coronavirus pandemic - with fees reflecting the tough financial conditions.
"The บาคาร่าขั้นต่ำ Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has been speaking, and it's bad news for Manchester United supporters. He has said Dortmund are planning next season with Jadon Sancho and he has said he will be playing for them next season. The back story to all this is that United want to sign him, they have made him their No 1 transfer target but Dortmund had said they wanted it sorted out by today [Monday].
"Even though the transfer window is open for another two months, they said today [Monday] is the deadline because it's the day their pre-season training camp started in Switzerland. Sancho is at the training camp, and as far as Dortmund are concerned, that is the end of the matter - he is staying.
"He is the sporting director at Dortmund so he knows everything that's happening. I'm not saying that he is not speaking the truth, but there's another two months still to go of the window. Just because United have not made a bid before this self-imposed deadline, does not mean they are not going to make a bid in the next two months.
