Borussia Dortmund director Michael Zorc has insisted that the club are planning for the future with Jadon Sancho<\/a>, despite him being linked with a move to Manchester United.<\/a><\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund Planning for Season Ahead With Jadon Sancho<\/h2>\n

Manchester United Interest is No Secret<\/h3>\n

The Red Devils’ interest in the England international is no secret. Negotiations are reportedly still taking place.<\/p>\n

However, a deadline for a deal to be complete was set as August 10.<\/a> As a result, it means that this saga could now become complicated.<\/p>\n

Most recently, the club had reportedly agreed a series of payment plans for the 20-year-old. These were set to be staggered over a five-year period, with the total amounting to \u00a3100 million.<\/p>\n

Will Jadon Sancho Remain With Borussia Dortmund<\/h3>\n

However, now it appears that the German club are remaining insistent that he will stay with the club.<\/p>\n

Zorc, the Sporting Director at Dortmund, spoke to the media ahead of the 2020\/21 season at a club training camp.<\/p>\n

He said<\/a>: “We plan with Jadon Sancho. He’ll play for us next season. The decision is final. I think that answers all of the questions.”<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Zorc also revealed that the England international has agreed a new three-year deal.<\/p>\n

As a result, it appears that Sancho is looking likely to remain with Dortmund. Agreeing a new deal means that the German club can negotiate a higher price, which they are likely to do.<\/p>\n

Sancho is one of the rising stars of world football, and has already established himself as one of the best players in Europe. Last season saw him better his 2018\/19 tally of 13 goals and 16 assists, as he registered 20 goals and 19 assists from out wide.<\/p>\n

Keeping hold of Sancho would certainly be an impressive feat by Dortmund. However, United will continued to battle hard to add the most coveted youngster in football to their ranks.<\/p>\n
