Bayer Leverkusen are ready to move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.
The England international has spent the second-half of this season on-loan with Chelsea, but has failed to do enough to convince them to pursue a permanent deal.

Instead, reports the Mirror, Chelsea intend to send Sancho back to United, paying a £5m penalty fee in the process.
United chiefs have no plans to keep Sancho around and now Bayer have come forward seeking a deal. Former club Borussia Dortmund are also showing interest.
And United are willing to drop the £25m fee written into Sancho's Chelsea deal to smooth negotiations, knowing the player's personal terms could become an issue.
United will aim to sell for £20m, counting on either Bundesliga club meeting Sancho's £300,000-a-week contract demands.
