There are increasing signs that Jadon Sancho is leaving Borussia Dortmund. Managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke has now confirmed that a change will have to take place at short notice. A successor is already available.
Borussia Dortmund has set a short deadline for Jadon Sancho and possible interested parties in a transfer. Manchester United is considered the 20-year-old English attacker’s dream goal, for whom the Bundesliga club should, however, demand a transfer fee of around 120 million euros.
“There was never an offer for Jadon. But we just give the prophylactic announcement of what at least has to be paid ”, BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke is quoted by the“ Süddeutsche Zeitung ”.
In addition, there is also a time limit after “there will be no more Sancho changes this season”, stressed Watzke. This deadline is said to expire on August 10, when BVB travels to the training camp in Bad Ragaz.

Because even if the transfer window is still open until the beginning of October, Dortmund wants to know the future of the young star clarified at an early stage. “So far there has been no contact between Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United regarding Sancho. Not even indirectly or through alleged middlemen, ”said Watzke.
Sancho successor from England?
BVB sports director Michael Zorc had already stated: “I assume that Jadon will go to the training camp on Monday and play the coming season with us.”
Watzke does not believe that Sancho, like Ousmane Dembélé (FC Barcelona) or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal), will force his move through a strike: “I don’t expect any difficulties. Jadon has accepted that, he’s a very pleasant, fair guy. “
As the “Bild” reports, BVB is already looking for a successor – at least in perspective. The only 15-year-old Jamie Bynoe-Gittens should be in the sights of Dortmund. The England U16 international plays, like Sancho once, for Manchester City and is already an integral part of the U18 Citizens. Since Bynoe-Gittens has not yet signed a professional contract, only training compensation would be due.
