Manchester City want to bring Jadon Sancho home next summer – but they'll face a fight

Jadon Sancho

The 19-year-old departed the Etihad in 2017 to join the German giants and has excelled at Signal Iduna Park.

United were heavily linked with a move for the England international over the summer but a switch failed to materialise.

The Bundesliga side are already at work finding a replacement for him, with Hertha Berlin’s Javairo Dilrosun a possible target.

Sancho is said to be valued in excess of €100 million after dazzling Bundesliga crowds during his time at Dortmund.

Sancho made his senior Englad debut against Croatia in October 2018 and has since become an important part of Gareth Southgate’s squad.
