Jadon Sancho is also not expected back in Dortmund until later in the preparation period - or not at all. Because in the course of the first half of July, at the latest, the decision must be made as to whether the Englishman will move to Manchester United or stay with BVB. "It would be good for us if he stayed. In the weeks that Jadon has been missing, we have seen what value he has for us," Michael Zorc recently explained in an interview with the Ruhr Nachrichten. BVB's conditions are on the table: a transfer fee of around 95 million euros, plus the usual bonus payments. The whole thing is non-negotiable.

United sources said that the club would have liked to finalize the deal before the start of the European Championship. But nothing came of it, because until a few days ago there was no official offer for Sancho. According to the Ruhr Nachrichten, however, that has now changed. BVB has received an initial bid from the Red Devils, which is now being examined. So, after a long standstill, there could finally be movement in the transfer, which, in the event of completion, would allow Borussia to become active on the transfer market itself thanks to the handsome income.
