Huge Boost for Chelsea as Dortmund launch £35m bid for Sancho replacement

According to German publication Bild, Borussia Dortmund have reportedly launched a £35m bid to sign Valencia winger Ferran Torres.

The report states that Dortmund have refused to pay Torres’ £87million release clause, instead bidding £35m for the Spaniard who is out of contract at the Mestalla at the end of next season.

This bid could be fantastic news for Chelsea and Manchester United as the Spain Under-21 international is being touted as a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho.

In regards to the Borussia Dortmund winger, all signs are pointing towards him being on the move at the end of the season.

“Even before the coronavirus outbreak, we said that we prefer that Jadon stays with us,” Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke has recently stated.

“At the end of the day, however, you always have to respect what the player wants.

However, Watzke has also stated that their asking price for Sancho will not be reduced despite the coronavirus pandemic.
