DBasia.news – The closer the dream of Manchester United to recruit Jadon Sancho came true. Because the 18-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder gave an indication of joining the Red Devils.
Manchester United competed with Paris Saint-Germain in the hunt for Jadon Sancho. Reportedly, Dortmund will release the player for 70 million pounds.
The interest of the two clubs grew bigger after Sancho appeared nicely while defending the England national team against the Czech Republic in matchday 1 of the 2020 European Cup qualifier, at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (23/3). Although not scored, Sancho had a share in the 5-0 victory.
The former Manchester City player had uploaded Rio Ferdinand’s tweet asking him to join the Red Devils. Although, in the end, the upload was deleted some time ago.
Jadon Sancho leaves Manchester City to Borussia Dortmund for only 8 million pounds. The Citizens still pocket the sales clause of 15 percent of the players in the future.
The Bundesliga was the right place for Sancho to develop. Until now, he has scored nine goals plus 13 assists in the highest competition in Germany.
However, Borussia Dortmund also did not want to take off Jadon Sancho just like that. “We plan to continue with him next season,” explained Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc.
Interestingly, the Bundesliga is indeed an attractive destination for young English players. Besides Sancho, the Bundesliga is also inhabited by Reiss Nelson.
