Borussia Dortmund deny Man Utd “contact” on Sancho

Chief Executive of Borussia Dortmund chief, Hans-Joachim Watzke had sensationally revealed that “no contact” has been made with Manchester United over England star, Jadon Sancho.

In recent days, Sancho has been widely linked with a move to Manchester United.  Multiple reports had claimed that United were close to agreeing a deal for the 20-year-old Sancho with Dortmund, with the German club pegging their asking price at €120 million.

Watzke has however dismissed those reports, saying there had been no contact between the clubs regarding the England international.
“So far, there has been no contact between Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United in terms of Sancho,” he told Suddeutsche Zeitung on Wednesday.
“Also not directly or through alleged intermediaries,” he added.

United are reportedly prepared to walk away from the Sancho deal amid an unwillingness to meet Dortmund’s asking price. Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said he expected Sancho to be at the club in 2020-21.
“I assume that Jadon will go to the training camp on Monday and play with us for the coming season,” he told Suddeutsche Zeitung.
