Sancho not leaving – Kehl
Borussia Dortmund have reiterated their intention to keep England international winger, Jadon Sancho despite overtures from Manchester United this summer..
The 20-year old winger has been the prime target for Manchester United this summer and it looked like negotiations were heading for a happy conclusion but both clubs had different valuations of the player.
Dortmund had slapped a 120 million euro price tag on the Manchester City youth product but Manchester United were unwilling to match the German club’s demand. It led Dortmund to set an August 10 ultimatum for negotiations to be completed, after which the player was taken off the market.
United remain keen on the player especially on the back of a Premier League opening day loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford but Dortmund director, Sebastian Kehl has dismissed the English club’s interest, claiming that the player will not leave in this transfer window.
“Jadon has trained well and professionally, he is happy to play football.” Kehl told Ruhr Nachrichten. “Yes. Someday he might leave for a new challenge nut right now he is happy at Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Dortmund is happy to have him.
“He is here and he will stay here. It was an important statement from the club because we have a certain responsibility. Without Jadon, the team is worse.”
Manchester United remain under pressure from their fans to improve the squad despite already signing Netherlands international, Donny Van de Beek. The club had been priced out of moves for Germany international attacking midfielder, kai Havetz and former Real Madrid full back, Sergio Reguilon who recently joined fellow Premier League rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.
