Jadon Sancho is courted by Manchester United. Borussia Dortmund had set a deadline for the English and their player. Monday at 9:52 a.m. it was clear that this had expired. But is that really the end?
Dhe Jadon Sancho, courted by Manchester United, stays with Borussia Dortmund. At least if BVB adheres to its own deadline. Club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke had set this for his young star and the English in order to have planning security for the coming season. United should decide by the start of the Dortmund training camp. Apparently this did not happen.
On Monday morning at 9:52 a.m., the 20-year-old, who still has a contract with BVB that is valid until 2022, arrived with BVB at Dortmund Airport. From there it went a little later with a charter flight to Switzerland. Until August 17th, the Dortmunders are preparing for the new season in Bad Ragaz – with Sancho.
The ultimatum for Manchester United had already expired on Sunday evening at 11:59 p.m. The English club, which will play in the Europa League quarter-finals against Copenhagen on Monday evening, has apparently not made an offer for Sancho. The Dortmunders want to have 120 million euros for their young star. United is apparently too high, especially in times of Corona and the associated financial imponderables.
Transfer window still open until October
At the weekend there were signs of a change when videos of the partying Sancho from London made the rounds. In a good mood, he posed with musicians for their social media appearances. The trip that was rumored as a business trip was perhaps just a home vacation.
The question now is whether Manchester and above all Sancho will keep to the deadline set by BVB. Dortmund wants to avoid further cases like those of Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang. Twice the club was forced to sell the players who would eventually strike at the end of the transfer window. Due to the lockdown, the transfer window will not only be open until the end of August this year, but also into October. So the matter may not be over by a long time.
In order to sweeten a stay for Sancho, his salary is to be increased from six to ten million euros in the coming season. According to transfermarkt.de, he is already the most valuable player in Bundesliga history with 117 million euros.
