Borussia Dortmund set August deadline, €120 million price tag for Jadon Sancho

The newspaper adds that even though the transfer window will be open till October this summer, Borussia Dortmund want a decision on Sancho’s future by the start of August. If there are no satisfactory offers by then, the 20 year old will go into the new season with the Black and Yellows.

Despite rumours in England about Sancho’s desire to return to his home country, Ruhr Nachrichten say that Borussia Dortmund have not received any indications that he wants to leave. His father is said to have been in the club’s office in June, and at the moment the player’s position is still very open.
