Should he decide against moving away from Signal Iduna Park, the Englishman could become a club legend there, building a great partnership with fellow BVB rising star <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1f44ac21\/Erling-Braut-Haland?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erling Braut H\u00e5land<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/57d88cf9\/Jude-Bellingham?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jude Bellingham<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/03\/18\/report-jude-bellingham-to-snub-manchester-united-for-borussia-dortmund\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> who the German outfit hope to sign in the summer.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/bundesliga\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bundesliga<\/a> is not the most competitive league in Europe, it remains one of the top divisions and has been home to some of the best players in the world. If he stays in Dortmund, he could be part of a new beginning for the Black and Yellows, potentially becoming a footballing superpower. Although this seems unlikely, it is not impossible and might be one of the best options for Sancho in terms of his career.<\/p>\n<h3>Jadon Sancho Might Join a Spanish Giant<\/h3>\n<p>As always, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/squads\/53a2f082\/Real-Madrid-Stats\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/squads\/206d90db\/Barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a> are in the mix in this big race for Jadon Sancho\u2019s signature. The Spanish giants would allow him to play alongside some of the world\u2019s best, and compete at the highest level. The clubs also have a rich history, something which Dortmund cannot offer, and certainly have the money to pay Sancho\u2019s expected \u20ac120m price tag.<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of playing with the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d70ce98e\/Lionel-Messi?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lionel Messi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/df69b544\/Antoine-Griezmann?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antoine Griezmann<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/amp\/s\/www.the-sun.com\/sport\/premier-league\/398296\/liverpool-man-utd-chelsea-and-barcelona-are-all-transfer-options-for-jadon-sancho-but-every-club-has-pros-and-cons\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/6ce1f46f\/Toni-Kroos?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toni Kroos<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/6025fab1\/Luka-Modric?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luka Modric<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/amp\/s\/amp.sportsmole.co.uk\/football\/man-utd\/transfer-talk\/news\/sancho-prefers-real-madrid-to-man-united_373687.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a> is certainly an exciting one. However, the quality on offer could get in the way of Sancho\u2019s development, with no guarantee of any game time at either club.<\/p>\n<p>If the former <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester City<\/a> winger were to move to Spain, it could come off very well for him, but it could equally backfire and see him go down as yet another overhyped wonderkid.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool\u00a0<\/a>Could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1244599\/Man-Utd-news-Jadon-Sancho-Liverpool-transfer-decision-Chelsea-Dortmund-rumours-gossip-news\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Provide an Option<\/a> Facing Jadon Sancho<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/jurgen-klopp\/profil\/trainer\/118\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jurgen Klopp\u2019s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/search\/Liverpool\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> side are reportedly interested in the young English talent as well. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/Mohamed-Salah\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a> currently occupies Sancho\u2019s preferred right-wing position, he could be set for a summer departure, with Barcelona and Real Madrid knocking on the door.<\/p>\n<p>The current runaway leaders of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Premier League<\/a> also have much history with which they can attract Sancho. And, having been so dominant this campaign, the reds look to have a bright future ahead of them. This could further attract BVB\u2019s star winger, with the opportunity to win many trophies at his new club.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Liverpool still have <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio\u00a0Man\u00e9<\/a> and Salah occupying their wings comfortably, and no confirmation of either of their departures. Furthermore, Liverpool do not have as much promising youth as some of the other Premier League teams chasing him.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0are Another Premier League Side <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football.london\/chelsea-fc\/news\/jadon-sancho-chelsea-transfer-latest-17369865\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Interested in the Englishman<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A return to his hometown London is also not off the table. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/search\/Chelsea+\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a> could also sign Sancho in the summer, with manager <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/268df6b1\/Frank-Lampard?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frank Lampard<\/a> a fan of young teams.

One is the interest of many other teams who could give a more attractive offer, while the other two revolve around money, with the teenager\u2019s value and wages also a problem.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a>\u00a0are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/jadon-sancho-man-utd-latest-17939290\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One of the Leaders<\/a> in the Race for Sancho\u2019s Signature<\/h3>\n<p>Another club closely linked to signing the Bundesliga star, Manchester United<a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1253885\/Manchester-United-transfer-news-Jadon-Sancho-Euro-2020-Harry-Kane-Jack-Grealish\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> will focus<\/a> on his transfer in the summer. While the Red Devils need a right-winger, they also have much to attract the youngster.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, United are an historic club, with one of the richest histories in world football. Furthermore, they have an extremely young side, with <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/65cb97b8\/Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> also no stranger to giving youth a chance.

With a promising future and a successful history, United have a lot to offer Sancho, but there are some downsides to a Manchester-bound move as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Red-Devils have no guarantee of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/champions-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champions League<\/a> football next season with a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/03\/17\/what-is-next-for-the-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uncertainty surrounding the Premier League\u2019s conclusion<\/a>.
