There has been alot of speculation in the media suggesting that Chelsea are willing to splash around £100 million in the summer to try and acquire the services of Sancho, who has become one of the most exciting wingers in the Bundesliga over the last few seasons.
Frank Lampard is keen to bolsters his squad at the end of the season and improve the side enough to get back challenging for that Premier League title, and also as a possible replacement for the likes of Willian and Pedro. who have been tipped to leave the club at the end of the season.
Now Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke says the club will not stand in the way of Sancho if he wants to leave in the summer, with Sky Sports reporting that when the transfer window re-opens, Sancho will leave Dortmund after another impressive season with the German side.
“You always have to respect what the player wants,” Watzke told Bild.
“We already said before corona that our preference is for Jadon to remain with us.
“I can say clearly that even the very rich clubs, despite the current existential crisis, shouldn’t think they can get a bargain from us. We don’t have to sell anyone below their value.”
