DBasia.news – Manchester United’s hopes of obtaining Jadon Sancho are still there, but they will have to wait patiently for at least another year. Manchester United’s chance to bring in Borussia Dortmund winger, Jadon Sancho in the 2020 summer transfer market has arguably faded.
This was revealed directly by the Director of Dortmund, Sebastian Kehl. Sancho himself is still under contract until 2023.
Dortmund don’t seem to want to risk losing Sancho when the 2020-2021 Bundesliga season rolls around. Die Borussen is of course worried that the team’s performance will decline if they let go of one of its flagship players.
“I saw him on the pitch and he was very happy. Everyone is glad to have him, so he will be here for at least one more season,” said Kehl.
It’s no secret that Manchester United have made Sancho the main target in the transfer market this summer. The 20-year-old winger is considered the last piece of the puzzle to perfect the strength of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.
But Manchester United’s desire to obtain Sancho was hindered by the player’s high value. Dortmund only wants to release him for 100 million euros.
Sancho himself had no objections in staying for another season in Dortmund. He admitted that he ignored all news related to the transfer issue.
“I try not to look at the media because I think once you start seeing all that you would easily get carried away by it. It can affect players, “Sancho told SoccerBible.
“For me, it’s about not looking at those things and just focusing on trying to do the best I can on the pitch.”
This fact seemed to have made Manchester United have to immediately look for other options. The Red Devils do not have long considering the new Premier League season will roll out in mid-September.
