Jadon Sancho is one of the hottest prospects currently available in the market.
Of course, after Lucie Favre decided to bench the youngster in Borussia Dortmund’s big clash against Barcelona at the Camp Nou – claiming he only needs players who are focused and ready – it’s getting pretty clear that the young talent’s head is already far away from the Yellow Wall.
This actually goes hand in hand with The Telegraph’s recent reports. They stated the player is on the radar for many European giants, with Manchester United leading the line ahead of the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona for a teenager who might cost £100m.

Still, that was not nearly the end of it and now new updates have surfaced claiming Sancho’s head has somewhat been turned and a move to Spain could now be on the cards – Zinedine Zidane’s troops are awaiting his acquisition.
Needless to say, the arrival of such a talent would definitely put Real Madrid’s young crop of players on alert, especially the 19-year-old Vinicius Junior, who has been left out of the squad for the last two games for reasons that are described as an “unknown injury”.
But with only 448 minutes under his belt even when he was fit, the Brazilian is starting to look like an outcast already.

Sancho’s possible transfer could completely push him out of the squad and possibly give Rodrygo Goes a run for his money too.
After all, the Englishman has already bagged six goals and nine assists in 18 games played across all competitions. Let’s not forget we’re talking here about a guy Favre described as not focused.
“We need players on the pitch who are focused and ready.”
Either way, Los Blancos will have to fight Manchester United for the coveted signature since the Red Devils are in dire need of reinforcements that could take them to the next level.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s forward line is already young and talented – with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood leading the line – but Sancho, although really young, seems like a proven difference-maker in the final third.
United are currently sitting in ninth place in the Premier League table and obviously, changes are needed.
Even if it means coughing up £100m to land a teenager, it’s worth a shot.
In other news, Sancho is not the only man on Real Madrid’s radar as they might be looking to raid Arsenal’s ranks as well…
