It is reported that Dortmund is already planning a life without an English star, who still sticks tightly about his long-term future. At the beginning of this month, he was started on a potential return to the Premier League but refused to be involved in a transfer back to England.

Their CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke warned that they would not be ready to accept the offer at a cut price for the winger. “I can clearly say that despite the existential crisis, even the richest clubs should not believe that they can make a deal with Dortmund.”Even before the outbreak of coronavirus, we said that we prefer Jadon to stay with us. However, in the end, you always need to respect what the player wants.”Boyhood Chelsea fan Sancho, who is friends with Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi. He left Manchester City in 2017 for Germany and has been successful in the Bundesliga. Still, disciplinary issues at the beginning of the year led to assumptions that the attacker may be on his way.

Man City has the right to comply with any application accepted by Dortmund as a winger. But there is no clause in its contract that would prevent it from joining United. Both Chelsea and United strive to strengthen their attack line whenever the transfer window opens again.
