Jadon Sancho may never become a Manchester United player if the move does not go ahead this summer, Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth reports.
Borussia Dortmund value the 20-year-old winger at £108m, although sporting director Michael Zorc has said Sancho will not be sold this current transfer window, stressing "the decision is final" .
United are not giving up on signing Sancho, but as it stands they are yet to have agreed a transfer fee, agent fees or personal terms with the player.
"It has gone a little bit quiet as far as Jadon Sancho is concerned,"
Dharmesh said on The Transfer Show on Sky Sports News . "The information I got this morning was if United do not sign Sancho in this transfer window there is a chance he will never become a United player
"Make no mistake about it, this window represents what I call the perfect storm as far as United are concerned. They are in the Champions League, Sancho wants Champions League football.
"They are realistically the only club that could do a deal for Sancho at the figures being mentioned. However, and this is the big crux of it, as it stands there has been no bid from United.
"Dortmund are adamant he will not be sold. The only way that changes is if United make a bid, and then if Sancho then agitates for a transfer to United.
"It must be said that Dortmund have been quite bemused at how United have approached this proposed transfer. A selling club has a valuation for a player, a buying club has a valuation for a player. Then the two sides talk. Here we have a situation where Dortmund have made it clear what their price is, it's €120m for Sancho.
"United have said they're not willing to meet that price, they think it's completely unrealistic in the current situation, but what they haven't said is what they are prepared to pay. Hence, there is no basis for a negotiation."
Juventus winger Douglas Costa and Bayern Munich's Champions League final hero Kingsley Coman have been sounded out as possible alternatives to Sancho, and Dharmesh says these reports could be a ploy to push Dortmund into striking a deal for Sancho.
"Now we hear United might have potential alternative targets, the likes of Douglas Costa from Juventus or Champions League winning goalscorer Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich, David Brooks perhaps even from Bournemouth ," Dharmesh added.
"There are two ways to look at this. United are genuinely interested in these players as an alternative to Sancho, or are they happy for these names to be out in the open so that they nudge Dortmund into doing business.
"It should be said Sancho is willing to move to United, a club that is the biggest rival of the club he left when moving to Dortmund in Manchester City.
"As it stands, we as far away as Sancho going to United as we have ever been."
