The latest transfer news and rumours, including updates on the futures of Sergio Aguero, Jadon Sancho, Kalidou Koulibaly and much more!
DORTMUND CEO DOUBTS CLUBS CAN AFFORD SANCHO
Borussia Dortmund’s chief executive Hans–Joachmin Watzke admits the club are willing to discuss selling Jadon Sancho, but doubts anyone could match their asking price.
Sancho, just 20, has registered a combined 17 goals and assists this season, and Dortmund reportedly rate him at £100m, with Manchester United among those thought to be interested.
Watzke said: ““If Jadon approaches us and says he wants to leave no matter what – which has not happened so far – and a club wants to spend what we are asking for, we will discuss it.
“But I don’t think a club will pay the fee we want.”

CASTAGNE WOULDN’T TURN DOWN SPURS

“I think the time has come to move on, but I won’t be disappointed if I stay,” he told Belgian outlet La Derniere Heure. “I’m very proud of this. It’s proof that hard work pays off. I hope it’s more than just simple interest from them.
“You have to be honest with yourself. When a team like PSG or Tottenham come knocking on your door, you can’t say ‘no’.”
