Report | Borussia Dortmund willing to listen to offers for Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho is set to leave Borussia Dortmund as early as January after the club has revealed that they are willing to listen to offers for the starlet. The English winger has been linked with a move to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris-Saint Germain and Manchester City since the summer window.
According to English outlet Independent, German club Borussia Dortmund have decided to listen to transfer offers for youngster Jadon Sancho as early as January after a breakdown in relationships, with most of England’s top clubs closely monitoring his situation. One of the Bundesliga club sources described that there’s “war in all directions” between Dortmund chiefs and Sancho. The England international has been exceptional for BVB since his move from Manchester City in 2017.
Sancho’s status at Dortmund after a superb first season has deteriorated rapidly, with the hierarchy now considering another hefty fine, after more disciplinary issues. It is understood by Independent that the 19-year-old was late for the team briefing session before Dortmund’s clash against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. As a consequence, Lucien Favre decided to bench the former Manchester City man in the game and only brought him in the second half.
However, Sancho continued to have an impact scoring a consolidatory goal in the 3-1 defeat. Manchester United are highly interested in the forward as they aim to replace the departed Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the attack. Sancho is also linked with a move to his former employers Manchester City, who are sweating over the possibility of winger Leroy Sane leaving the club for Bayern Munich.
Zinedine Zidane has also expressed interest in signing the Englishman but reports indicate that Real Madrid's top target is Kylian Mbappe. Dortmund would still want a fee of over ÂŁ100m for Sancho, but their hand has been weakened by their own willingness to sell.
