Several Premier League giants have been put on red alert regarding Dortmund sensation Jadon Sancho as his Bundesliga employers have reportedly accepted the idea of selling the Englishman for a cut-price fee.
The German giants have long been fighting off interest in the Three Lions talent from Man United, slapping an exuberant price tag in order to keep him at the Signal Iduna Park. However, the financial ramifications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has seen the club change their stance.
BVB are set to suffer losses upwards of $82M, and this is without factoring in failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, which is a huge possibility given that they're currently sixth in the table. As a result, they could find themselves in a position where they would have to cash in on either Haaland or Sancho to balance the books, with the board deciding to sacrifice the latter.
#BVB - @SPORT1 sources: Borussia expect @Sanchooo10 to leave Dortmund in summer. Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in Sancho (3 goals, 9 assists). Erling Haaland (14/3.) should definitely stay for one more year. @ErlingHaaland has an exit clause in 2022 for €75 Mio. https://t.co/zBfifFcrHV

According to the Daily Mail, Dortmund will accept $121M, a huge drop from their $148M asking price over the summer. Whether Man United, who were willing to offer $128M for Sanco, will renew their interest remains unclear.
Amad Diallo recently arrived from Atalanta and could be given first-team opportunities in the near future. Chelsea and Man City are two other clubs following Jadon's situation. The winger hasn't hit his usual heights this season but he has racked up three goals and nine assists, which is a commendable figure, and will likely garner suitors.
