Sporting director Kehl says Dortmund will 'negotiate' with Manchester United

Sporting director Sebastian Kehl revealed that Borussia Dortmund will try to negotiate a deal to return Jadon Sancho to Westphalia next season.

Sancho returned to Dortmund on loan in January after falling out with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag – a row that played out on social media – and has thrived in the Bundesliga while playing a key role in the club's Champions League run. last time.

It is unlikely Dortmund will be able to sign Sancho – or match the wages he earns at Old Trafford – but Kehl says Dortmund plan to “negotiate” with United.

When asked about the England player's future, he told TNT Sports: “I don't know yet, but it was nice to be with him these past six months.” He raised our level in the team.

“He wants to win [against Madrid tonight at Wembley]everything else will be decided later.

“He still has a contract with Manchester United. We don't have the option to buy so we have to negotiate. I hope he scores tonight even though that means the price will go up.”

What does Sancho say?

Sancho admits that he did not expect to finish this season playing the biggest game in club football.

He told The Mirror: “I don't think anyone would have expected this. I got into the final of the Champions League. I am very happy. I am blessed.

“Game by game I was just working on myself, trying to become a better player. Doing more behind closed doors. Everything I do is for the team and I thank them – and the staff – for accepting me.”
