Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund speak on future of English teenage sensation with club -

Bundesliga side, Borussia Dortmund have admitted that Jadon Sancho’s future with them remains uncertain.

Dortmund said they are doubtful the English winger will play for the German club next season as interests from top European sides continue to mount.

Speaking to Kicker magazine, Borussia Dortmund’s Sporting Director Michael Zorc, noted that the 19-year-old has excelled since arriving at the Westfalenstadion in 2017, scoring 18 goals and making 29 assists in 64 appearances in all competitions, and was linked with moves to various European clubs during the summer transfer window.

But, he declared: “No (transfer) decision has been made yet. But you don’t have to be a prophet to know he (Sancho) won’t play here for another five years.

“He has taken this positive development (at Dortmund). I doubt that would have been possible with top English clubs.

“We trust the players very early, and we are not afraid to let them play. He acknowledges that.”

Zorc stated that the England winger, who has two goals and eight caps for Gareth Southgate’s side so far, may end up leaving Dortmund due to the extent to which he pushes himself to become a better player.

“He’s an instinctive footballer, a street footballer, he’s always a footballer, but he’s always setting new limits,” said Zorc.

“He does not sit back satisfied. He wants to play football successfully and beautifully. That alone is his motivation.”

Sancho has four goals and six assists in nine appearances so far this term.

The teenager was on the scoresheet in Dortmund’s 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in their German Supercup triumph at the beginning of the campaign.
