Man City hoping to lure Jadon Sancho back in £90m transfer… and believe five things are in their favour above rivals
MANCHESTER CITY are stepping up their pursuit to get Jadon Sancho back from Borussia Dortmund.
And Pep Guardiola’s side believe there are five key reasons why they are favourite to land the England winger.
The 19-year-old quit the Etihad in the summer of 2017 in his search for regular first-team football.
He has gone on to become one of the best attackers in Europe, scoring 21 goals in just 59 Bundesliga matches.
The Continent's elite are all looking to snap him up, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But City feel have the advantage on their rivals, with a number of contractual factors already in their favour.
And the Etihad club would want around £100m for Sane, essentially off-setting any money paid.
Sancho has grown unsettled at Dortmund, having TWICE been dropped at Dortmund this season with the Bundesliga side citing disciplinary issues.
And club chief Michael Zorc fuelled rumours of unrest between the team and player after saying the England star still needs to mature.
