Borussia Dortmund continues to expect Jadon Sancho to stay with the club next season, despite his contract and Manchester United’s keen interest.
The 20-year-old Sancho is about to enter the last two years of his contract and should leave the Bundesliga instead of signing an extension.
United is a longtime admirer of Sancho who tried to sign him from Manchester City in 2017 and who couldn’t buy the England international last year because he didn’t qualify for the Champions League.
Dortmund wants a nine-figure fee for Sancho, which could lead to lengthy negotiations with potential buyers in a post-COVID climate, and a United move for Sancho also depends heavily on whether they return to the Champions League.
“We expect Jadon to play at BVB next season, and we’re all very happy with the quality he brings to our side and the difference he can make,” said Dortmund’s former midfielder and current head of licensed Player department Sebastian Kehl Sport buzzer.
United sources have trusted Dortmund to keep Sancho when Brinkmanship dismissed it since club manager, Hans-Joachim Watzke, admitted in March that Sancho is likely to be sold this summer.
Dortmund Sancho is likely to raise over £ 100m after selling Ousmane Dembele to Barcelona in 2017 for an incredible £ 135.5m. Dortmund negotiated a total fee of £ 135.5m for Dembele from Barca and received £ 96.8m in advance.
Sancho has scored 20 goals in 43 games for Dortmund this season and would land on the right side of a potential United Front Three with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
United could still enjoy the most successful season since Sir Alex Ferguson’s resignation, or missed European football in a row for the first time since the early 1990s. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that her summer budget is still uncertain given the variables of her enema.
“I think the pandemic hit everyone very hard,” said Solskjaer on Friday. “I still think we have to wait and see how things go, to know the real impact of the pandemic, and to know what our financial situation is.
“They see that some teams invest, others don’t. We need to take a closer look to see how hard we were hit. I know the club has already released some numbers.
“It is not my job to say that we will have an X amount because I don’t really know. I don’t really know how hard we were hit. We are a financially strong club, but we are likely to be hit more . ” Let’s see how quickly we can get our fans back into the stadium and of course the position in the league will be important for us this season. “
