Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has
dismissed rumours that 19-year-old rising star Jadon Sancho is set for a move
back to Manchester.
English youngster Sancho has flourished since joining
Dortmund from Manchester City two years ago, and recently signed a contract
extension which keeps him at the German club until 2022.
Yet Sancho, who picked up an assist in England’s 5-0
thrashing of the Czech Republic on Friday, has been repeatedly linked with a
return to the Premier League.
A recent report in The Sun alleged that Sancho’s agent was
in talks with Manchester United, but Dortmund boss Zorc dismissed the rumours
as “irrelevant”.
“I have no knowledge (of the talks), but it is also
completely irrelevant,” Zorc told Bild.
In a recent interview with the same newspaper, Zorc admitted
that it would be hard for Dortmund to hold on to Sancho long-term, but insisted
that the youngster would remain at Dortmund next season.
“I can’t put a price tag around Jadon’s neck but I can say
that even the biggest clubs in the world struggle to afford him at the moment,”
said Zorc.
“Jadon will be playing at Borussia Dortmund next season. But
it is obvious that the interest in him will keep growing, especially from
English clubs. He will not end his career in Dortmund, that much is true.”
