The Daily Mail have reported that Jadon Sancho is looking to leave Borussia Dortmund in the near future. The article also restates that Liverpool want to sign Sancho when he leaves the German giants. Can the Reds capitalise on the unrest?
The Mail draw attention to recent problems that the England winger has faced at Signal Iduna Park. The Three Lions forward was fined £86,000 after reporting back to training late following international duty. He was also dropped for the team’s monumental clash with league leaders Borussia Monchengladbach as punishment.
Most recently the ex-Manchester City man was hooked off the pitch after just 36 minutes as Dortmund fell to a 4-0 defeat against arch rivals Bayern Munich.
According to the report, these incidents have contributed to a growing discontent in the player. With tensions rising and Europe’s top clubs interested, the winger is determined to force a move out. It looks as if this season may be his last in the Bundesliga.
What RTK has to say
If Liverpool sign Sancho it would cost FSG upwards of £100m according to the Metro. He would be worth every penny. The Dortmund man would provide us with a vital rotation option for our front three.
Jadon Sancho promises to be one of the defining players of his generation. The forward has netted three times and provided five assists so far this season. Last campaign saw a staggering 12 goals and 14 assists in 26 starts for Sancho – an incredible feat considering he only turned 19 in March.
Youth is currency in modern football. Every team wants the next big thing before they are the big thing. The thinking is that with transfer fees skyrocketing in recent years, these talents will be nigh on unsignable when they reach their prime. If Liverpool sign Sancho they can avoid being faced with an astronomical, unpayable fee for the winger when he hits his peak.
