Kicker: “High probability” that Jadon Sancho will swap Borussia Dortmund for Premier League this summer
By Tushar Bahl
Borussia Dortmund want to keep Jadon Sancho at the club beyond the summer transfer window, but it is increasingly likely that the winger will leave.
Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans Joachim Watzke said earlier this week that Jadon Sancho is happy at the club, and is not looking to leave. But Kicker report that the likelihood of the Englishman staying at the Westfalenstadion for another season is very low, with English Premier League clubs circling for his signature.
They add that the BVB bosses haven’t received any concrete offers for their star player yet, but a decision will be made about his future before the start of the European Championships this summer.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City have all been heavily linked with the 19 year old in recent months. Real Madrid and Barcelona are also said to be interested, but his next destination is likely to be in the Premier League.
Sancho has been one of the Black and Yellows’ best players this season, and already has 17 goals and 18 assists in all competitions, in just 33 appearances. He signed a new contract with Borussia Dortmund last year, and his current deal does not expire until 2022. So the club are under no pressure to sell, and are looking for a fee in the region of 150 million euros for their prized asset.
