Jadon Sancho is not looking to leave Borussia Dortmund in the winter transfer window, reports in Germany say.

Jadon Sancho’s future has been subject to a lot of speculation in recent weeks. The highly rated Englishman has been linked with a move to a host of big clubs, including Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Manchester United. It was rumoured earlier this week that the Sancho would seek a transfer away from Borussia Dortmund in January.

But SportBILD have quashed those rumours, saying that Sancho isn’t looking to leave Borussia Dortmund in next month’s transfer window, and the BVB bosses have no intention of letting him go either.

The report says that Sancho’s Borussia Dortmund teammates and management have not been given the impression that the 19 year old will look to provoke a departure away from the club. BVB bosses Hans-Joachim Watzke, Michael Zorc and Sebastian Kehl are also said to have held talks with Sancho, giving him full encouragement and support after his goalscoring cameo in the defeat to Barcelona last week.

While he is still likely to leave in the summer, having Sancho at least until the end of the season will be a big boost to Borussia Dortmund’s hopes of winning the Bundesliga title.

Even though he hasn’t been at his best, the winger still has seven goals and seven assists in 19 appearances in all competitions so far this season. He recently finished as the runner-up to Mathijs de Ligt in the Kopa Trophy 2019, an award given to the best performing under-21 player.
