Wasn't there a rumour about Mane?

Realistically I'd say Sancho wouldn't go to Liverpool. Barca/Real/City/Paris/Utd. seems more likely
Maybe, but you just know Real would prioritise a pursuit for Sancho over a player like Mane. If Neymar ends up back at Barcelona I can see a reply from Real with these sorts of extravagant hyped targets.

Sancho is also 8 years (!) younger than Mane, which makes a big difference in long term planning.

Doesn't Hazard also have a year contract? I read sth about 115 mio. And I think Dortmund Bosses are already working to extend the contract to get the big money going.
Hazard's contract expires sooner and it appears he wants to leave. Real won't have trouble getting him and for a decent price too. I think they will end up getting great deals if they bring in Hazard and Erriksen (who is ticking down his contract and entering final year soon too).

First of all, Neymar was a released by a clause. Barca wouldn't have sold him for that money. Also, Dortmund does not want to sell. They don't sell their best talent, if they don't have to. They want to get at least one or two more years out of him. They said already that he will play for them next season. Why wouldn't he? If he keeps developing like that, they have a strong player playing for them for a longer time while he is getting even more expensive for other clubs as the competition will raise. So it makes absolutely 0 sense for them to sell this summer.
Agreed, I think Sancho will go by the end of the 2020/2021 season. Unless he signs a new contract before then.

You say that like it's not one of the best leagues in the world. I think it's a notch below the Prem but the gap isn't that wide at all, it's a very competitive league and what he is doing there is exceptional.
A notch? It's worlds apart. It's PL, Liga, Serie A then them.

Not saying the kid isn't a stud btw, as much as it might look that's what I'm implying, just that the Bundesliga does not make him more relevant than he'd have been if he had stuck to the English league. As a brand, it wasn't as good a move for him as some are suggesting.

Just wait before next season, to see if he continue performing like this. Hope he's not going to end up like Pulisic.

So Chelsea are going to sign Pulisic and his Dortmund replacement Sancho in the same summer?

Like I said in the other thread WTF is with all these nonsensical Chelsea fans cropping up on this forum these days?
If Sancho deems Chelsea the club he wants to join he won’t care that he displaced him at Dortmund. Dortmund will ultimately sell him if and when he pushes hard for a move and/or they receive an offer they deem worthy. If Chelsea is the team that makes that offer(don’t think we will be fyi) how is it improbable that they sell to Chelsea?

Seems your post is the one devoid of nuance or sense.

I can see him toying with Spurs. Davies or whoever starts on the left will have some trouble coming at him. Dortmunds attack is pretty good, and their FBs are bombing forward. Spurs will have some defending to do and cant focus on one player.

He'd be wise not to sign a new contract, and leave 6 months after the euros (where if he had a good tournament, will have every club in the world showing him a blank cheque book!).

Imagine his signing on bonus? 21 year old on his way to being one of the best in the world? The guy will be taking home a mil a week through wages and signing on bonus easily.

His contract goes to 2022, not 2021. But yeah, might be the case he will stay that long there. He wont move next summer for sure though

Dembele went for £135m so I'm guessing nothing below £150m?
Dembele went for £100m, and Barca were able to sign him partly due to PSG's oil money.

You have to consider the cycle of when the very best players become available and not just what is happening on a season by season basis. Clubs will find the funds for the appropriate talent - if Pogba, Neymar, Kane or the like were available this summer, you would see the scramble for them, well, not Neymar, because everyone knows his next move is Madrid, but the other two would start a bidding war unless they had a designated club in mind. Sancho is moving rapidly along, Dortmund have no need to sell, he's only 18, he's improving as the season progresses £100m isn't going to get him anymore. There's a link somewhere in this thread from Novemberish(?) and £100m was stated then, he's done a hell of a lot since then to increase his worth and is showing no signs of abating. Dortmund would actually be idiots to sell at £100m as they're sitting on an asset who is going to be worth quite a bit more than that. In fact, from their perspective, post Euros is the time to sell and in the interim, a club looking to buy is going to have to compensate for that by getting him early. The sum is going to be huge.
First of all, Neymar was a released by a clause. Barca wouldn't have sold him for that money. Also, Dortmund does not want to sell. They don't sell their best talent, if they don't have to. They want to get at least one or two more years out of him. They said already that he will play for them next season. Why wouldn't he? If he keeps developing like that, they have a strong player playing for them for a longer time while he is getting even more expensive for other clubs as the competition will raise. So it makes absolutely 0 sense for them to sell this summer.
His value's not really increased since Novemeber, he's shown the same form from the start of 2018. I do agree that you'll need a blow out sum to sign him, but my point is no one outside PSG has spent that sort of money. I'd argue he'll get to Mbappe's level once he shows his form consistently over another season, so you'd need Mbappe money, but again PSG were able to spend that due to their oil money. £150m is more then what most clubs spend in one summer.

I'm not arguing his value, I'm essentially saying that Neymar's fee has skewed what people think clubs can afford. Outside of PSG no one can afford that, and even PSG can't spend that anymore whilst having Neymar and Mbappe. I do agree though that Dortmund have no need to sell and would be wise to hold on to him, but I think an offer of £100m would tempt them and I think people have skewed expectations on how much clubs can actually afford to bid. It was only 2 and a half years ago that a player like Pogba went for £80m, who was far more established at Juve.

Fact is unless a club can convince him to go on strike, he's not moving and I'm not even sure that tactic would work. It makes zero sense from his pov to move this summer.

I think we’re in a very good position for him. Real and Barsa are renovating their stadiums and will struggle with liquidity the next 3,4 years. Bayern won’t pay 9 figures for a player and we can outspend anyone else in the Premiership. Only wild card is of course PSG and it’s Qatari backers.
Plus Madrid and Barca have already got brilliant left wingers.

After a world cup year then? Even more money then, I can see Madrid going hard for him of he's still at Dortmund and on a free I'm 2022.

Well there's potential for that and he had prior at City. He's on around a £50k salary, considering Alexis' earns £350k there's a lot of room in between to tempt him.

I’ve said in the thread previously, I have it on good authority that he is Liverpool’s top transfer target for the summer. Salah is now seen as a central striker and thus Klopp feels he needs another wide forward.

Sancho is the reason Liverpool didn’t compete for Pulisic. I feel Dortmund would prefer to keep him for an additional season and it wouldn’t suprise me if Liverpool opt to buy him and loan him back for the additional season. Ridicule me if you wish, I’m not saying Liverpool are Sancho’s first choice, or indeed that Liverpool will get him, I’m just saying Klopp is obsessed with this guy and that Liverpool will go all out for him too.

He's already shown he isn't motivated by money. Rejected a bigger contract to sign for Dortmund. I think he will know his main priority is developing his game and he's at the best place to do that. He is playing regularly in an environment he's comfortable in and with a team that has shown has the potential to challenge for trophies. I can't see him risking all that by moving after one year. Think he's going to stay for at least another one.

It was only 2 and a half years ago that a player like Pogba went for £80m, who was far more established at Juve.
Consistency = value and we're in February of 2019 now; there is no stasis with valuation and it will go up and down in accordance with what the players' output is. I'd also argue he's getting better as an overall player: rather than a moments player, he's a full game threat now, so there is growth and improvement in evidence as the season progresses.

Only PSG have spent that money because none of the true superstars have moved in the interim. Do you believe Neymar will go for less if he's off to Real Madrid than what PSG paid for him? Do you believe if a non-petro club came in for Kane, the valuation of him would be any less?

In a normal summer, the elite players don't move. When the elite players move, the market gets shaken up, every time, and always will. Normal clubs can recoup by sales or by lessening their expenditure in subsequent windows, the end result will be the same.

Even if a petro club has set the precedent, it will force others to pay far more than they would if those clubs never existed, but it is what it is and I am certain that if the right clubs (read the elite) get involved, we'll see spending in that bracket again.

Where the money comes from is not Dortmund's concern, what is is that they got £140m (all in) for Dembele and would be damned to get less for an equivalent talent that they would much rather keep than sell in an ideal world. It would make no sense on their end to entertain lesser bids on an appreciating asset, who has shown no sign of leveling out as of yet.

And £89m 2.5 years ago was an insane fee, but proof of how the market was changing even before Neymar, and since then, we're in another world as far as fees go for low-end players, let along top-end or uppermost in the case of the very best you can get.

I think that's the most likely case too, though I think we can offer him both playing time on our RW and a lot of money. Unlikely for it to happen but would love it if the board and Ole decided to go for it.

As much as I’d love to see him on our right wing next year I think this is the truth. Seems like a bright enough kid to put his career above money at this stage and the smart play would be to spend at least one more year at Dortmund and develop without the pressure of a big price tag in the PL.

Stop being so dense. I clearly stated Dortmund will sell “if and when they receive an offer deemed worthy.” That offer in Dortmund’s case will probably be north of 150m but that doesn’t mean multiple clubs won’t still put forth an offer regardless.

So once again..what’s nonsensical about Chelsea bidding for him?

I am a muppet for United buying the best young players (just Martial, Shaw and DDG in the last decade is such a shame) but I hope Woody & co are not going to be the ones who end up paying 150m for Sancho.

BvB are the epitome of a system team and midfielders and attackers who have only had success at BvB have yet to show that they can perform elsewhere. We ourselves have had 2 such failures. Let's not fall for that again. Bundesliga is also the best league for young attacking talent since a lot of defenses play a high line and young quick attackers can run behind them.

Dembele is not a counter-example before someone brings him up. Every top club wanted him after Rennes. What we should certainly do is to bid that 100m+ for the next big talent out of Ligue 1. Young players from there tend to replicate their success elsewhere be it Benzema/Hazard from an earlier age group, or the Mbappe/Dembele/Martial group.

That said, Sancho is a great talent who a lot of us saw potential in even as a City academy player but then how's that different to a Mason Greenwood. It would be one thing if we were paying Martial money for him, but people here want to pay Neymar money for him which is ludicrous.

Martial was the most expensive teenager in the world when we signed him. Inflation and all that.

This is how I see it too.

I'd rather we give Greenwood a chance simply because this guy is ripping it up l, is left footed & made to play as an inverted forward on the RW for us.

I'd like to see Sancho develop for a further year or two - especially considering he is one of the very few English players that ever grace other leagues.

From there - if one of Greenwood, Martial or Rashford fail then we should make a 100m-150m offer for Sancho to make their move in to that position we need.

I agree with your view about Dortmund players too - it's a risk & what no one says really changes the fact that spending 150 mil on a Dortmund player on his first season is a risky business manoeuvre.

I'm at bit surprised that pretty much everyone expects Sancho to leave at some point before his contract expires. Dortmund are building a fantastic young side and are looking likely to win trophies this year. The kid's not stupid, he won't be in any rush to leave right now, and the club won't entertain anything but ridiculous money, they just don't need to. I also think he will be more loyal to Dortmund, he's an intelligent guy and he'll recognise the chance that they gave him.

He's a supreme talent, but we have one of our own in Greenwood. Let's not go down the same road as City and force our young stars away, we are lucky to have Pogba back and we'd do well to trust in our tradition and identity of bringing through home grown talent.

If we were to spend big on an attacker, I'd love it to be Sancho, but it's not remotely realistic right now.

He could sign a bumper new contract, Dortmund could again invest wisely and become a real force in European football. What if they win the CL this year? Where does he go from there? There's no reason that they can't knock Bayern off their perch and sit amongst the teams at the top table in European football.

There are plenty of reasons why they won’t do that.

The very best players in the world don’t spend the peak of their careers at Dortmund. Even the German ones leave. They could win a CL if they like, their players will subsequently leave, just as they did the last time they got to the final in the CL, last time they won the Bundesliga and will continue to do so.

Because over the years Dortmund have proved that they're forever stuck in the phase of "building a fantastic young side". They don't ever (get to) reap the rewards on the pitch. They take the money or players run out of their contracts.

I get what you guys are saying, but there must be a long term vision to progress from the expectations of a selling club to that of a challenging side. I didn't think I'd see the day that Spurs would be able to hold onto their best assets. Could this not be the case for Dortmund potentially?

Potentially sure. But that would take loads of commitment. They need to offer Sancho a new contract with a massive pay rise ASAP if they want any chance of him staying the long run. Show everyone they mean business.

Spurs are in England. Worse clubs than them refuse to sell players over here. The Bundesliga is dwarfed financially by the PL. Sancho went there to develop his career, not because he’s some sort of lifelong Dortmund fan. When he’s ready to command a place at a tier 1 club, I can’t imagine he won’t move on.

He is ready now. I did think he would not move yet this summer, but these performances are going to make it hard for Dortmund to keep him. I understand the idea of developing more there and move after euros. But I think the other option would be move now to a big club here in England, which will instantaneously increase his first team chances for England. Hopefully it's to us.

If Woodward isn't setting plans to sign Sancho in motion this summer it will highlight his incompetence. He is perfect for the way we play. He is not lightning fast or strong but he uses bursts of acceleration. Martial is a great 1v1 winger who likes to take players on. Rashford is more of a selfish striker always looking to get a shot away. Sancho is the ultimate team player. We could have a deadly trio, even though it would be very young if they click it could be outrageous. Sancho makes more runs in behind which Martial doesn't do often. He is as intelligent as lingard on the pitch, he has the balance/first touch similar to Mata to get out of tight spaces but he has much more to offer. He can run direct, link play, interchange, almost always finds the right pass and gets a shot of from tight angles. Should stay away from Pepe and sign Sancho while we can. It is Iike PSG with Mbappe or Barca with Dembele. If we wait another season another team will get him.

United & Chelsea are the two top candidates who can get him if he wants to go back to England next season IMO.

Spurs won’t be able to meet the demand that Dortmund is going to ask and I don’t think Arsenal will pay massive when they have many problems in midfield and defense.

Sancho seems to be a type of player who wants to get regular game time than getting more money, with Liverpool has Shaqiri, Salah & Mane and also OX and City has Sterling, Sane & Mahrez, why would he wants to join them. Chelsea will be interested if they sell Hazard. That leaves United who is looking for a right winger and his competition is Lingard & Mata.

I think he will suit us, we also need another creative player that we can rely on apart from Pogba. Sancho is the guy! He’s done very well at his age in Bundes Liga and now his team is on the front line of winning the league.

Martial was the most expensive teenager in the world when we signed him. Inflation and all that.
Martial wasn't that long ago. At best, you could argue Martial money would be something like 60m rising to 90m; similar to what Barca paid for de Jong.

That said, buying from BvB is enough reason to be wary to begin with.
