Man United target Sancho in camp

- Karolos Grohmann Berlin

Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho left with his team for a preseason training camp in Switzerlan­d on Monday amid speculatio­n of a possible transfer to the English Premier League.

The 20-year-old England internatio­nal, who has a contract with the German club until 2022, had a stellar season with the Bundesliga runners-up and has been reportedly targeted by several top clubs, including Manchester United.

Sancho scored 17 league goals and set up another 16, with Dortmund saying they would only let him go if their price expectatio­ns were met fully.

United have been heavily linked with a move for Sancho but reports say they may have balked at Dortmund’s valuation of €120m. That would make him the Bundesliga’s most expensive transfer and would see the German division lose arguably its most exciting player.
