The news sparked cheers among BVB fans: Jadon Sancho stays!
All rumors in the transfer theater about the 20-year-old shooting star were finally put to a stop on Monday afternoon by the clear statements of sports director Michael Zorc.
So Sancho is not moving to Manchester United on the island. That was the good, surprising news from Dortmund’s point of view. The second message, which was quite astonishing: BVB has tied Sancho to itself until 2023 – last year. The Westphalians quietly and secretly extended the contract with the English national player and adjusted his salary at the same time.

The BVB bosses have thus achieved a real coup, which the competition from Munich will certainly have acknowledged. Had a few days ago Uli Hoeneß in one DOES-Interview criticized the black and yellow transfer policy. The Bayern honorary president had complained that Dortmund repeatedly put their players up as sales objects and did not keep them for a long time, which he is basically not entirely wrong. However, this is easy to say from the position of the undisputed industry leader.
In recent years BVB has grown into a top team, but has also developed into a real instantaneous water heater. Of the kicker calculated that sports director Zorc has handled an average of 26 (!) transfers per season since 2015.
In the case of Sancho, the black and yellow finally rely on continuity. The fact that they didn’t buckle in tough poker with ManUnited and showed a clear edge also deserves respect.
With the Sancho stay, the Pott Club has set an exclamation point. The attacker is one of the best footballers in the Bundesliga. The fans go to the stadium for him and are happy to pay admission. You want to see the wing racer run, trick, shoot and do magic. And he delivers – despite recurring missteps next to the square. His total of 20 goals and 20 assists in the past season confirm this impressively.
With the Sancho coup, BVB also preserves its chances of another title attack on Bayern. In Achraf Hakimi, they lost a top performer to Inter Milan, but replaced them in Thomas Meunier from Paris Saint-Germain. In addition, there is the summer commitment of England teen Jude Bellingham, who is hunted all over Europe (another coup) and the transfers of Emre Can and Erling Haaland that were made in winter.
Something is growing at BVB. In Munich they are certainly following this very closely.
