Perhaps they want the maximum amount of money for Sancho. Letting us know they want Dalot, risks that we may lower the offer by involving Dalot.
Diogo Dalot - next move?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yea we would be very light at the fullback spots.
Brilliant, hope it happens. Put a buy back clause and an obligation to buy next year. Use that money to buy Trippier .
What's the point in loaning him, doesn't help us at all..
NO LOANS. If we have decided to move him on then sell him. If not he can stay put.
We have a bloated squad. Can't register everyone, and possible last minute signings
we simply can't afford to let him leave at this point. After loaning out Williams and with Telles still out, he's pretty much the only backup we have on either side 
If it includes a mandatory buy clause then it does. I'd quite like to improve our relations with Dortmund.
Haaland, Bellingham etc.
Dortmund, eh. 40m is the price. 20m to anyone else.
Which money? The money isn't coming until next year. At Madrid aren't negotiating for Tripper. Clause or feck off.
Does if there’s a high loan fee. We can use that as the first year instalment for trippier.
Agree similar deal with At Madrid as well. Loan with mandatory option. Clubs does it all the time.
At least wed move someone on, still would need to move another to get someone in though
At Madrid have said Trippier isn't for sale.
Last minute signings are not possible unless we get money from selling players. Not loaning them.
If we do this its because we want to bring someone else in and wanna make space on the wage bill beforehand.
We'd be leaving ourselves short at fullback though so, clearly, we're looking to go for someone important.
And you trust that ?
that’s more than enough to buy Dalot
Yeah for the £10m we were offering.
100 million please Zorc.
They've bought players themselves
Arbitrary deadline needed
What would we be left with? Lindelof/Jones as RB cover? Alternatively a back 3 with James as RWB. Grim either way.
Sorry BVB, we can't do that. You can have Jones or Mata instead.

Waaaay back in June we had approached Trippier, Camavinga, Varane and Sancho. These were the targets with Ornstein saying the former two would be late in the window if they happened to drive the price down and relied on sales. Dalot and Lingard out - those two in? Seems like that was the plan.
Im sure we can take instalments too
Do people genuinely dislike Dortmund for him wanting to get as much as possible for one of their best players?
They gave us a pretty good deal for Sancho in the end...
Assuming we can get £13m for Dalot from Dortmund our Sancho fee gets reduced to the £60m which is excellent.
In before Lindelof is our back up CB and RB.
We’re going to pay over the odds for trippier aren’t we? This club will be the death of me..
Doesn't matter what I trust. Trippier isn't coming cheap and unless we sell Dalot, not loan...even with an obligation, we aren't buying Trippier.
Free loan with no OTB provided we get first option on Haaland. Thanks Zorcie-baby.
Two injured right-backs. And their third choice Passlack has been terrible.
I don't really rate Dalot and I would happily let him go if we get a loan with an obligation to buy or a straight up buy offer for an acceptable fee. But this late into the window, with Atletico quoting ridiculous price for Trippier, surely that would cause a bit of a problem? We can't go into the season with one senior right-back.
We'd be quite light at full back if we let him go, not sure I see the sense in it.
He's got a release clause but Bellingham...yes please...
If we don't buy a new one, can we bring Laird back before the deadline? We definitely need an option there other than shifting Bailly/Lindelof there when AWB is unavailable (and for competition).
But hope a deal for Dalot happens. I don't think he's good enough as a full back.

Too late IMO and no way should we accept a loan
I’m not sure Dalot is the player we should be getting rid of at this point. Williams end Laird are out on loan- we have no right back if AWB gets injured…
Possible. Over the past week United's Board seems to have suddenly become keener on loans than its been all summer.
Clearly they want to reduce the wage bill a bit. Is that just to reduce overheads or make space for paying someone new? Lets hope its the latter.
We're absolutely not bloated in the RB position though.
I know that but the suggestion is they present our bid first.
