Jadon Sancho could leave Dortmund in the summer with Liverpool keen
Journalist Jab Aage Fjortoft has tweeted that in-demand attacker Jadon Sancho could leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old has played 27 times for Dortmund this time and has scored 15 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.

The reporter goes on to claim that Liverpool remain keen on securing the player in the summer transfer window. The price, however, could be a point of contention, with Dortmund valuing Sancho at £126million.

Liverpool will have to bid considerably higher than the record fee they paid for Virgil van Dijk to secure Sancho. Klopp has always advocated against overpaying for players and it remains to be seen if the clubs can come to an agreement.

Sancho is one of the brightest young talents in world football and will be a brilliant addition to any team. Adding him to an already potent Liverpool attack will give Klopp more options apart from adding an extra dimension to the Reds front line.
