Sancho, 21, is expected to sign a five-year deal with the option of a sixth. The fee will be payable over five equal instalments.

Sancho, who joined Dortmund from Manchester City in 2017, is set to become the second-most expensive English player of all time behind Three Lions teammate Harry Maguire.
The centre-half joined United from Leicester for £80m in 2019. The news will be welcomed by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who wants to build on United’s progress last season.
They finished runners-up to Premier League champions Manchester City and reached the Europa League final, losing to Villarreal.
The United boss has identified four key positions he wants to improve: right side of his midfield, then the central defensive, midfield and attacking areas. Sancho fills the first of those.
The news brings to an end a long chase for the Londoner, who shone in Watford’s academy. United expected to sign him last summer but could not agree a fee.
Jadon Sancho scored 50 goals and registered 57 assists in 137 appearances for Dortmund, scoring twice in the German Cup final to help the Bundesliga side to a 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in May.
