Dortmund search for Sancho replacement

Borussia Dortmund are actively searching for options to replace Jadon Sancho, who seems more likely to leave the Signal Iduna Park next summer by the day. That’s according to Sport Bild, who add that the Bundesliga side are currently considering Javairo Dilrosun of Hertha Berlin and Ferran Torres of Valencia as potential candidates.

Sancho arrived to Dortmund for very little money as a youngster who wasn’t getting enough game-time for his development, but since then he has set the Bundesliga alight with his pace and trickery on the ball. In the 56 games he’s played in the black-and-yellow so far, the 19-year-old scored 17 goals and laid on a further 26 assists. These performances haven’t gone unnoticed, of course, and not only has he broken into the England senior team, but his value has sky-rocketed. The report claims Dortmund will use the fee Barcelona paid for Ousmane Dembele in 2017, reportedly around €130 million, as a benchmark when setting the price for Sancho.
