Borussia Dortmund have reportedly put plans in place for Jadon Sancho's departure by opening talks with Lille attacker Jonathan Ikone.
Sancho has been tipped to depart the Westfalenstadion this summer on the back of a campaign that saw him register 20 goals and 18 assists in all competitions.
Manchester United are the strong favourites to snap up the England international, while Real Madrid and Barcelona have also previously been credited with an interest.
BVB are standing firm on their hefty valuation for Sancho, believed to be in excess of £80m, but The Times claims that the club are now preparing for his possible sale.
Lille star Ikone is said to have been eyed up as Sancho's direct replacement after impressing in Ligue 1 in 2019-20.
The 22-year-old, capped four times by France at senior level, is supposedly available for around £41m.
