Jadon Sancho will run out of contract with Dortmund in 2022 and is yet to sign an extension. Borussia Dortmund are expected to sell the winger before he becomes a free agent since there is considerable interest in Sancho. Jadon Sancho value is reportedly around £100m in the current transfer market.

The financial setbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic could make some clubs think twice before making a move for Jadon Sancho. However, Manchester United and Chelsea are being seen as the front-runners for Sancho's signature. Both, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Frank Lampard are in the process of rebuilding their respective sides and Jadon Sancho, at the age of 20, is being seen not just as one for the future, but a player who will likely have an instant impact in the Premier League.
