TBR Football understands that Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign Jadon Sancho.
Sancho is keen to leave Old Trafford this summer, but his desire to keep his wages is complicating his potential exit.
TBR Football revealed earlier this month that Sancho doesn’t want to give up his £300,000 per week, which caused his transfer to AS Roma to stall.
Work is now being done on sorting a move for the winger, and he has been offered to Thomas Frank’s team in their search for a left winger.

Sources: Savinho, Bilal El Khannouss and Jadon Sancho options for Tottenham
Jadon Sancho to Tottenham Hotspur is a situation to keep an eye on in the coming days, as the winger has been offered to the North London club, sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey.
Following the departure of Son Heung-min to LAFC, Spurs feel the need to add a new top left-wing option to Frank’s squad in the final few days of the window.
Sancho, who was tipped to reach Jude Bellingham’s level, has been put to the Lilywhites as a potential signing, although work is still being done on other deals first.
The 25-year-old scored five goals and ten assists in 42 appearances on loan at Chelsea last season, before the Blues opted to send him back to United.
Tottenham also remain in talks with Savinho and held fresh talks with Manchester City following their 2-0 win over the weekend.
Bailey told TBR Football: “Savinho is still of major interest to them. They think there’s a possibility, and the player wants to go to Tottenham. We need to keep an eye on that. Jadon Sancho’s name has been offered to them, but we’ll see what happens in the coming days.
The Lilywhites are also looking to sign a number ten, and Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss is an option being discussed internally.
“Spurs still want a number 10 and a left-sided player, and I think they’ll get at least one. Bilal El Khannouss is still being discussed; there are options out there for them. Deals like this are always fluid; nothing is nailed on yet,” added Bailey.
Tottenham cannot afford to mess up Savinho deal
At this late stage of the transfer window, Tottenham cannot afford to mess up their deal to sign Savinho from Man City.
Spurs have been working hard on a deal for the 21-year-old, and the Brazilian is keen on a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
City remain reluctant to sell Savinho, but Spurs need to make an offer to the former Premier League champions which will satisfy their demands.
Not only would they be missing out on a huge young talent, but also the prospect of waiting yet more time on a deal, having seen Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White slip through their palms.
