# Liverpool: Journalist confirms Reds’ interest in Jadon Sancho

**Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho is on Liverpool’s list of potential summer arrivals, according to journalist Christian Falk.**

### The Lowdown: Sancho exit possible

The 21-year-old has continued to excel for the Bundesliga giants this season, [scoring 16 goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/346300/Show/Jadon-Sancho) in all competitions and outlining his reputation as one of Europe’s best young players.

Sancho continues to be [linked](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-chelsea-ready-battle-signing-believe-player-can-superstar-decade/) with a summer exit from Dortmund, however, with a return to England looking most likely should he leave Signal Iduna Park.

### The Latest: Liverpool again linked with move

Speaking to [Bild](https://www.bild.de/video/clip/premierleague/tuchel-verzockt-sich-im-kampf-um-die-champions-league-76389790-76393240.bild.html) \[via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/indeed-true-liverpool-said-looking-making-major-signing/)\], Falk confirmed that Sancho is being viewed as a possible summer signing by Liverpool, although they aren’t alone in showing in interest in him. The journalist outlined:

> “That is indeed, true, Liverpool are looking at Sancho again.
>
> “He is on the list, especially because they don’t know what will happen with Salah, who is always a bit on the move and thinking about a transfer.
>
> “Chelsea are also very interested, as we have reported, and also Spain lures him again and again.
>
> “If Salah were to be sold or he says he doesn’t want to be at the club anymore then there would surely be movement on Sancho with Liverpool.”

### The Verdict: Future superstar

Sancho is a special young talent who has already achieved so much at the top level, making [135 senior appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jadon-sancho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/401173/verein/16) for Dortmund and winning [18 England caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jadon-sancho/nationalmannschaft/spieler/401173/verein_id/3299) by the tender age of 21, so it is only natural that the Reds’ rumoured interest should be seen as hugely exciting.

Eventually, Jurgen Klopp will need to find long-term replacements for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, with the pair both turning 30 next year.

If Diogo Jota is the man to potentially fill the Mane-shaped void over time on the left, Sancho could then be Salah’s successor, wreaking havoc on the right wing by combining [electric pace, quick feet](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/what-makes-jadon-sancho-so-good-borussia-dortmund-england-manchester-united-10724) and consistent end product.

The forward has [50 goals and 63 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jadon-sancho/alletore/spieler/401173) for Dortmund, which speaks volumes about his quality, but whether or not Liverpool can afford to sign him this summer without selling one of their main assets is debatable – Sancho is valued at £90m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jadon-sancho/profil/spieler/401173).
