Speaking on the Que Golazo Podcast, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Jadon Sancho will be leaving Borussia Dortmund next summer, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all in the race for his signature.
It’s no secret that Sancho has been courted by a number of Premier League clubs over the past 12 months, with the winger reportedly coming very close to joining Manchester United in the summer.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that United’s failure to land the England international in the summer has left the race wide open.
“I think he’s moving next summer. Yes, as we said, it’s so difficult in January, we’ve said that so many times about Jadon Sancho, because Borussia Dortmund are not huge to sell their players in the middle of a season, of a complicated season as they are having, so they need their stars to be back at a top level, and they don’t want to sell Jadon Sancho in January,” Romano said.
“But next summer I expect Jadon Sancho to leave the club. Yes, he was really one step away from leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer, Manchester United were really close to signing him for €100m, but then Borussia Dortmund changed their plans, but Manchester United had the agreement with the player and his agents, so everything was ready, and then the deal collapsed at the last stages.
“That’s why I say next summer, I expect Jadon Sancho to leave the club and be back in the Premier League.
“We have to understand if Manchester United will arrive with €120m (£109m), if they will be ready this time to sign the player or if they’ll take the risk of other clubs joining the race.
“I will say like Liverpool, Chelsea, and a lot of clubs are scouting the situation of Jadon Sancho, so at this point the race is open.”
Sancho coming to the Premier League would be great to see, as the young Englishman seems to be a joy to watch every week in the Bundesliga.
It seems as though there are plenty of teams in the race for him, but where he ends up remains to be seen.
Liverpool are of course scouting the situation, and it would be very interesting to see where he’d fit into Jurgen Klopp’s side, and if he’d even get into the team ahead of Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane.
This is certainly a situation to keep an eye on in the coming months.
