'Sancho rejected Bayern for Dortmund' - Salihamidzic confirms offer

The teenage sensation turned down an offer from the Bundesliga champions in favour of a move to their rivals

Jadon Sancho was approached by Bayern Munich, but rejected their offer in favour of joining Borussia Dortmund, according to the Bundesliga champions' sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

In recent seasons, several star names have swapped the yellow and black of Dortmund for the red of Bayern, with Mario Gotze, Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels all making that switch.

But it appears that Dortmund beat their rivals to the signature of teenage wing wizard Sancho, who is taking the Bundesliga by storm this season, having originally joined from Manchester City in 2017.
