Man Utd and Chelsea blow as Borussia Dortmund make Jadon Sancho transfer decision

Manchester United and Chelsea's hopes of luring Jadon Sancho back to England during the current transfer window look to be fading, with Borussia Dortmund convinced the player will not be leaving for now.

Sancho has had a mixed season in Germany. The 19-year-old has continued to impress on the pitch, with 12 goals and 12 assists for the Bundesliga club so far this season.

However, he has been trouble when he returned late from international duty, with reports his relationship with Dortmund subsequently deteriorated.

Speculation has subsequently linked Sancho with a transfer this month.

But Dortmund have been steadfast in deciding against an exit before the summer and now Sky in Germany have declared he will be going nowhere.

With the winger's contract running until 2022 Dortmund are under no pressure to sell, and they still have high hopes for achieving great things this season.

They are seven points behind league leaders RB Leipzig and face a last-16 Champions League tie against PSG, and feel they would have a much better chance of excelling in both competitions with Sancho in their ranks.

However, Dortmund may find it difficult to hold onto Sancho over the summer, with the likes of Manchester City , PSG and Real Madrid also admiring the player from afar and monitoring his situation.

Sancho first moved to Germany in 2017 following a spell at City's academy, and he has since gone on to become one of the most highly sought-after young talents in Europe with a series of stunning performances.

He is also now a regular in the England starting 11, and could have a big part to play in this summer's European Championship.

The Bundesliga is currently on its winter break, but Sancho and co will return to action on Saturday when Dortmund host Mainz.
