# Liverpool inform Dortmund of their intention to sign Sancho

Liverpool have informed Borussia Dortmund of their intention to sign Jadon Sancho this summer, according to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7997385/Liverpool-latest-club-keen-sign-100m-rated-Borussia-Dortmund-forward-Jadon-Sancho.html)‘s Dominic King.

It is reported that the Bundesliga giants expect to earn at least £100 million for the 19-year-old’s services.

Liverpool have been [linked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2019/12/28/liverpools-interest-in-jadon-sancho-confirmed/) with Sancho throughout this season, as have [Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Barcelona](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7997385/Liverpool-latest-club-keen-sign-100m-rated-Borussia-Dortmund-forward-Jadon-Sancho.html).

A summer exit now looks [likely](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/02/12/borussia-dortmund-willing-let-jadon-sancho-leave-summer/), in what could be an intriguing fight to sign Sancho.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

The England international is one of the most exciting young players in the world, in my opinion, with [12 goals and 13 assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/346300/Show/Jadon-Sancho) in the league this season. Only Lionel Messi, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski and Mbappe are rated higher than Sancho on [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Statistics) this season.

The winger could come in and provide immediate competition to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane out wide, but also act as a long-term replacement for the pair at just 19 years of age. His pace, trickery and goal threat make him ideal for this Reds side, who are renowned for being [lethal on the counter-attack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ruc8tsQYDGE).

I think moving to United, who are at risk of missing out on the top four, could feel like a step down, given their current [mediocrity](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, although a return to City could make sense for Sancho.

With Leroy Sane [heavily linked](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1240590/Man-City-Leroy-Sane-Bayern-Munich-transfer) with a move to join Bayern Munich at the end of the season, Sancho could be something of a like-for-like replacement, albeit one who often plays on the right-hand side.
