Bild journalist Christian Falk reported on Sunday night that it is expected that Dortmund’s sports director Michael Zorc will comment on “the future and the poker game around the transfer to Sancho and Manchester United” during Monday.
Viasport reporter and expert on German football, Jan Åge Fjørtoft, also reports that Zorc will comment on the situation during Monday.

London trip Saturday – training camp Monday
Dortmund travel to training camp to Bad Ragaz in Switzerland on Monday, but on Saturday speculation escalated further after Sancho used the last weekend off before the gathering to travel to London.
The rumors naturally got even more fuel after the 20-year-old was observed at the rap duo “Krept & Konan”‘s garden party in the English capital on Saturday.
According to the local newspaper Ruhr news Sancho made a guest appearance at the musicians’ party. On Instagram, Sancho was clearly active in social gatherings over the weekend, where he posted several videos in a cheerful team with, among others, Leverkusen player Leon Bailey.
The German newspaper also writes that the rap duo are big fans of Manchester United and that Sancho has a burning desire to sign for the club and become one of Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men before next season.
On Saturday, Sancho is said to have boarded a private plane after Dortmund’s morning training, but according to the reports, everything was cleared with the Dortmund management in advance.
It should have been well known that several of the players would spend the time after Saturday’s training and until leaving for Switzerland on Monday for socializing with friends and family.
Ruhr news writes that Dortmund expects Sancho to meet as agreed to leave for Switzerland on Monday.
On Monday morning, both Fjørtoft and Falk report that they have received confirmation that Sancho is on the plane with the rest of the Dortmund squad for the team’s training camp in Switzerland.
Dortmund have also announced their squad for the training camp in an update on Monday.

– Dortmund is on the price requirement
According to German newspapers, Dortmund are still demanding 120 million euros for their offensive star. And with the announced “deadline”, it is expected that there will be activity on the rumor front already on Monday.
Late Sunday, Fjørtoft was clear that the Germans are still solid on the date as a deadline to bring about a transition.
In any case, he attaches a question to illustrate a possible scenario.
– Does anyone think that Dortmund will refuse 120 million euros, let’s say on Tuesday? Will Manchester United make a push tonight or early tomorrow? he writes late Sunday night.
Manchester United will play the Europa League quarter-final against FC Copenhagen in the German city of Cologne on Monday night.
