The Red Devils have wanted to sign the winger from England, although the German club’s sporting director, Michael Zorc, is convinced that he will not go anywhere.
Jadon Sancho could have secured a signing for Manchester United if certain conditions had been met, and Dortmund insisted that “the door is closed” and that a transfer is now not possible.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team has been chasing the 20-year-old’s signing all summer, with Sancho as their No. 1 target as they look to add to their squad before the transfer window closes on October 5.
However, Dortmund has imposed a deadline of August 10 to complete any deal, as United has failed to meet its € 120 million (£ 108 million / $ 142 million) asking price.
And the Bundesliga team has been adamant that one of its star names would not leave the club, with sporting director Michael Zorc admitting that while there was an agreement that Sancho could leave if certain stipulations were met, the deadline has passed.
He said Sky in Germany: “We had clear agreements with him that he could do a transfer under certain circumstances, up to a certain point in time. And then the door closed.”
On his absence from the team to face Freiburg, with goalkeeper Roman Burki also lost, Zorc added: “It didn’t work out for today, both are not ready to play.”
It is unclear whether Dortmund’s public statements will deter United from going ahead with Sancho, with only two days remaining in the summer transfer period.
As reported by objective On September 29, the Red Devils, who only added Donny van de Beek to their squad in what has been a disappointing lack of transfer activity, had not actually made a formal offer for Sancho.
That has made the name Ousmane Dembélé emerge as a possible alternative, with United now potentially looking to explore a loan move for the Barcelona forward.
Indeed, Ronald Koeman paused by confirming that French international Dembélé would definitely stay at the Camp Nou, telling reporters on Saturday that while it was still part of his plans, the decision to move forward would be up to him.
He told reporters: “Dembélé is a Barcelona player, [his future] it depends on what you think. I have not clearly spoken to him about it. We’ll see, there are two days left. “
“We have a lot of competition in attack. Ansu [Fati] started the first two games ahead of him. If a player is not happy, they can talk to me. And Ousmane hasn’t told me anything. If he stays, I’m counting on him and he will have opportunities to play. “
