According to the club’s CEO, Jadon Sancho might be ‘the greatest talent in Europe’ and may push to leave Borussia Dortmund in summer.
Hans-Joachim Watzke hailed the 19-year-old winger as as one of the best under the age of 21 he has seen. However, The starlet has been linked with a host of Europe’s top clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid after lighting up the Bundesliga.
Watzke told RMC Sport: ‘Jadon is a great, great talent, maybe the greatest talent in Europe currently of players under the age of 21.
‘In my opinion, he has the potential to become one of the two or three best players in the world in the years to come.’ But he added: ‘If one day he comes to us and says that he wants to leave the club, then we’ll discuss it.’
Chelsea are understood to be in the race to sign him and were expected to have to part with around £100million.
Sancho has 11 caps and two goals for England and is believed to be part of Gareth Southgate’s Euros squad.
He has also netted 17 goals and had 19 assists in all competitions this season for Dortmund. The Bundesliga giants have slapped a £100million price tag on the winger, but the steep fee looks unlikely to deter Premier League clubs.
