The transfer poker around Jadon Sancho (20) between Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United seems to be stuck. According to the «picture», the English are already in agreement with the wing car. Now the Dortmund have apparently commissioned an intermediary to help. This is player agent Marco Lichtsteiner, brother of Nati captain Stephan Lichtsteiner.

Lichtsteiner has already handled BVB transfers
The point of contention is the transfer: Dortmund does not want to move away from the required 120 million euros – the «Red Devils» do not want to pay that much. That’s where Marco Lichtsteiner comes in. He has helped with some Dortmund transfers in recent years. Lichtsteiner was allegedly involved in the transfers from Ousmane Dembélé (23) to FC Barcelona and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (31) to FC Arsenal.

According to “Sport Bild”, the Swiss has a good relationship with BVB sports director Michael Zorc (57) and is considered excellent in the industry. He also maintains good contacts in England. He knows Emeka Obasi, Sancho’s advisor, as a long-term partner.

«So far there is no contact»
The transfer is currently only being carried out in the background, as the two clubs are not currently negotiating. This is also confirmed by BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke (61). “So far, there has been no contact between Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United in terms of Sancho,” Watzke made unmistakably clear in an interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” – “also not indirectly or through alleged intermediaries.”

The tug of war should not last too long. By the start of the training camp in Bad Ragaz SG on August 10, everything must be clear, otherwise Sancho will stay with “Black and Yellow”. Dortmund sports director Zorc also expects to remain: “I assume that Jadon will go to the training camp on Monday and play with us for the coming season.” (smi)
