# Fabrizio Romano claims Liverpool ‘scouting the situation’ over Jadon Sancho

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/12/29/doesnt-seem-right-pundit-makes-bizarre-comment-about-jurgen-klopp/) are believed to be one of the Premier League clubs who remain interested in bringing [Jadon Sancho](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/11/11/liverpool-fans-are-excited-after-trents-comments-about-sancho/) back to England according to Fabrizio Romano.

Speaking on the [Que Golazo Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/qu%C3%A9-golazo-a-daily-cbs-soccer-podcast/id1535036670), Romano claimed Sancho will leave Borussia Dortmund next summer, with Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United all interested in the winger.

The 20-year-old was highly coveted by Reds arch-rivals United during the summer and Romano touched on how close that deal was to become a reality.

> ”Yes, he was really one step away from leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer, Manchester United were really close to signing him for €100m, but then Borussia Dortmund changed their plans.”

However, Romano believes that [move failing to materialise](https://www.90min.com/posts/why-manchester-united-failed-to-sign-borussia-dortmund-s-jadon-sancho) could open the door for the Premier League champions to step in.

> ”I say next summer, I expect Jadon Sancho to leave the club and be back in the Premier League. I will say like Liverpool, Chelsea, and a lot of clubs are scouting the situation of Jadon Sancho, so at this point the race is open.”

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

The unsettled nature of the youngster’s summer may have affected Sancho’s performances in the early weeks of this season as his [numbers are way down](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jadon-sancho/leistungsdaten/spieler/401173)on previous campaigns.

With 18 senior international caps already to his name and having imparted[34 goal contributions in just 32 Bundesliga matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jadon-sancho/leistungsdaten/spieler/401173/plus/0?saison=2019)last season – there is no doubt Sancho is a prestigious talent who Jurgen Klopp would be delighted to lure to Anfield.

United’s failure to land Sancho when they seemingly had a clear run at the youngster may come back to bite them. Liverpool are clearly a more attractive proposition right now, with [recent top honours](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/history/honours) and an exciting brand of football – akin to what Sancho knows at Dortmund – enough to turn any head.

Whether we want to face the reality or not, both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are going to move on eventually – with both turning 29 in the not too distant future, [Sancho could be the ideal long-term replacement](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1278404/Liverpool-news-Jadon-Sancho-transfer-Mohamed-Salah-Sadio-Mane-leave-Man-Utd-rumours-gossip).
