Borussia Dortmund is not exactly going through its best moment, both in football and economically. The club borusser foresees a deficit for the current season of up to 75 million euros as a result of the Pandemic, a figure that would go to more if he fails to qualify for the Champions League (he is currently sixth in the Bundesliga). To alleviate these effects of the coronavirus, Signal Iduna Park assumes that one of its two stars will have to be sold at the end of the season: Erling Haaland or Jadon Sancho.
What, a priori, is not clear is who will be the player who will have to be transferred to generate the necessary income. The value of both is around one hundred million euros according to Transfermarkt, a figure that, taking into account the current situation in world football, will not be assumed by any club with almost total security. In this way, in the offices of Signal Iduna Park they have already begun to turn their heads and everything indicates that, finally, Sancho will be the player chosen to make cash.
A year ago, Manchester United already pushed hard for the English international, who is also on Tuchel’s Chelsea list. At that time, the BVB asked for 120 kilos for the attacker, an amount that it will have to reduce considerably if it wants to reach an agreement with an interested club. Haaland’s case is different. In addition to its disproportionate importance on the pitch, a fact that, unlike Sancho, makes it currently non-transferable, its termination clause of 75 million euros does not come into force until 2022. The baby stays.
