“We plan with Jadon Sancho.”
Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc has said that the club are planning for next season with Jadon Sancho, who will not move to Manchester United this summer.
In a press conference, Zorc said: “We plan with Jadon Sancho. He will play with us next season. I think that answers all the questions.”

This comes after weeks of reports of Sancho being on the verge of a move to Manchester United. Dortmund had set a deadline for United to front up the asking price of August 10th. No deal was concluded before then, Sancho joined the squad on their training camp in Austria, where this press conference was held.
Whether this is the end of the saga, or a big power play from Dortmund, who are resolutely digging their heels in, remains to be seen.
