  • Jadon Sancho

    Borussia Dortmund remain adamant that Manchester United target Jadon Sancho will remain at the Bundesliga club past this summer.

    The young Englishman has been a sensation in Germany this season, having moved to Dortmund in the summer of 2017 from Manchester City. No player from the top five leagues in Europe has more assists than Sancho, who tops that particular chart with 13 this term – one ahead of Eden Hazard and Lionel Messi, who both have 12.

    Despite growing speculation that there is a big offer coming from United, potentially around £100million, Dortmund’s executive director Hans-Joachim Watzke says Sancho will be pulling on the black and yellow jersey come next season.

    “I don’t care about that. Everybody knows that Jadon will play for us next year,” Watzke told Goal.

    “That’s a fact and we don’t have a price tag for him. And because everybody in Europe knows that nobody contacted us.”

    Watzke added that if Dortmund were to countenance a sale, the 19-year-old’s former club have no buy-back or first right of refusal in place.

    “We never give information about contract details but City has no co-determination right at all,” said the executive.
