Liverpool have registered their interest in signing Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho this summer, according to reports in the English media.
The 19-year-old, who is also being looked at by Manchester United and Chelsea, could fetch upwards of £100m at the end of the season following a stellar campaign in the Bundesliga.
Fans on Twitter are salivating over the prospect of Sancho moving to Anfield:

That's the end of the battle. The only team that could steal him from liverpool now is Manchester city due to buy-back clause

100 million for Sancho, bring in Werner by selling Shaq and Wilson?
Possible? Lallana and Clyne leaving on a free makes more wages available— LFCChampions2020 (@LFCchampions20) 12 February 2020
I’m hoping Klopp’s Dortmund connection reduces the price down to… free.

Shaqiri + 60 million should make a deal

There’s no doubt that Sancho will be hot property in the summer. The teenager has scored 15 goals and provided 17 assists in just 29 games this season, and has become an integral figure in Dortmund’s first team despite his young age.
Whether the England international’s asking price will put off the Reds, though, we shall have to wait and see. Manager Jurgen Klopp’s connections at Dortmund could well give the Merseyside club an advantage in negotiations but even so, it would require a club-record bid to secure the player’s services.
