The Borussia Dortmund latest move has shown their resignation to Jadon Sancho’s departure, with Manchester United and Chelsea both interested in signing the youngster, according to Darren Lewis of the Mirror.
Borussia Dortmund Latest Move Shows Resignation to Jadon Sancho’s Departure With Manchester United and Chelsea Interested
Attracting Interest
Jadon Sancho has attracted a lot of interest across Europe this season.
The 20-year-old has 14 goals and 15 assists in the Bundesliga, third and second in the league respectively. That is quite some achievement. But, with Sancho having been a teenager for the majority of the season makes it especially impressive.
Clubs from across Europe have displayed an interest in the Englishman; teams in Spain and England are the two main destinations.
Real Madrid, who have never fully replaced Cristiano Ronaldo, are interested in signing the Borussia Dortmund star. But, with the Coronavirus having his Spain hard, financing the move may be a challenge.
Similarly, Barcelona have not found a successor for Neymar, who they sold to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a world-record fee. Like their Spanish rivals, Barca have been hit hard by this pandemic; a move for Sancho may be too expensive for them.
Chelsea have emerged as one of the front runners in the race to sign him. Frank Lampard is rebuilding the Blues with youth at the forefront of his focus; Sancho would fit very well into his team. A return to his boyhood town is on the cards, but United are also an option.
The Red Devils have offered Sancho the number seven shirt, as well as building their team around him, should he join in the summer. This seems to have interested him, and the Red Devils may just have won the race for his signature.
Borussia Dortmund Latest Move
Borussia Dortmund recently made the decision to go after replacements for their English winger.
Ferran Torres, who has attracted much interest playing for Valencia this season, could replace Sancho at right-wing, and the Bundesliga side are already looking into him as an alternative to their current star.
