DORTMUND FACE BATTLE TO KEEP KEY DUO

German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund face a huge task on their hands to try and keep hold of two of their star players, Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland. Both stars have been linked with exits from the club and the rumors keep hitting up every single day. England international winger Jadon Sancho came so close to leaving the club to sign for English Premier League giants Manchester United last summer but the transfer fell through eventually.

It was reported that Dortmund wanted nothing less than the £120 million valuation of their star and with United reluctant to pay such a hefty fee, the deal could not go through. The Red Devils offered to pay £80 million and asked for a significant drop in the German side’s asking price due to the financial impact made by the coronavirus, but they were stubborn and did not bend to the Old Trafford club’s demands.

Reports are now suggesting that United will return for the star this summer and will try harder to sign him so he can come in and help add more firepower to the squad’s attacking department. Sancho has not been as prolific this season as he was in the last campaign and has battled against injuries and lack of form so far this campaign, which could be a huge boost for the Red Devils in their attempt to bring down his asking price.

Sancho’s teammate Erling Haaland is another hot prospect in world football at the moment and is also being eyed by several top clubs in Europe ahead of a possible summer transfer. United, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona have all registered their interest in the striker and this could be his last season in Germany playing for Borussia Dortmund.
