Jadon Sancho of Borussia Dortmund has been one of the most-mentioned names in the media when it comes to summer transfers this year. However, the winger himself has revealed that nothing is certain at the moment.
Having arrived to the Signal Iduna Park from Manchester City in 2017, the 20-year-old s stock has risen rapidly and a number of top clubs across Europe have been watching his progress closely. Lately, he has been heavily linked with a return to Manchester, though to join United this time. Liverpool and Real Madrid have also been mentioned, though Dortmund don t appear willing to let him leave for anything less than €110 million, an amount no club is willing to pay at the moment.
And speaking to World Soccer Magazine (via ) this week, Sancho said he didn t kno…

Gennaro Gattuso believes AC Milan only need time to turn around a poor start to the Serie A season after a 4-1 victory at Sassuolo boosted his position.
Milan had drawn their last three league games, piling pressure on Gattuso ahead of Sunday s trip to the MAPEI Stadium, where Sassuolo had a 100 per cent record this term.
But despite striker Gonzalo Higuain missing out through injury and Gattuso having to name Samu Castillejo as a makeshift centre-forward, Milan eased to victory.
Franck Kessie s superb 20-yard drive after the midfielder s powerful run from his own half got the Rossoneri up and running before Suso s curler doubled their lead.
After Castillejo struck a beauty, Filip Djuricic replied for the hosts before Suso added his second with the last k…

Wales are on the brink of the Euro 2020 knockout stages after Gareth Bale set up two goals, either side of a dismal penalty miss, to help Robert Page s team to a 2-0 win over Turkey.
Bale, who provided a sublime assist for Aaron Ramsey to break the deadlock after 42 minutes in Baku, sliced way over from 12 yards with just over an hour played, wasting the chance to put Wales clear.
Yet the Euro 2016 semi-finalists overcame the setback, holding their nerve in defence before Bale atoned with another fantastic assist, this time for Connor Roberts to score with the last kick of the game.
It took Wales, temporarily at least, top of Group A on four points after two games, and with the four best third-placed teams progressing into the last 16, they look well placed to…
