Liverpool are among the top candidates to sign Jadon Sancho this summer, along with Manchester United and Chelsea.
That’s according to Bild, via Sport Witness, who say the €140-valued forward could leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.
Liverpool have been continually linked with Sancho in recent months, as a return to England looks on the cards.
The 19-year-old’s Dortmund contract runs until 2022, but he could move on this summer.

While I would never balk at the opportunity to sign Sancho, I do wonder if Liverpool need him, should they sign Timo Werner.
The RB Leipzig star is being strongly tipped to be a high-profile summer arrival at Anfield, adding him to an attack already consisting of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
I don’t see a scenario where Jurgen Klopp would be able to juggle having five genuinely top class attacking players in his squad, however, without leaving at least one of them unhappy at a lack of playing time.
Should Sancho come in and accept that he may be a fringe player to being with, I would love a deal to happen, but I doubt that would be the case, considering he is already a star man for Dortmund.
Losing out on him to United or Chelsea would be disappointing, without question, but that money could be spent on more pressing areas of the pitch, such as a backup left-back and a creative midfielder.
