Dortmund have lowered their asking price for Jadon Sancho to around £78 million ($108m), with the England winger being allowed to explore his options "under certain conditions".
The 21-year-old, who has seen many of his suitors cool their interest, is considering the next step in his career and he would ideally not like a transfer saga dragged out over the whole summer, as it was last year.
Indeed, Sancho isn't generating the same level of interest as his team-mate Erling Haaland and although the German club are hoping to retain both players, a failure to qualify for the Champions League could force their hand.
