Borussia Dortmund says youngster Jadon Sancho will remain at the club next season after Manchester United was reportedly close to signing the starlet.
Sancho, 20, is one of the hottest prospects in world football -- scoring 17 league goals and making 16 assists last season -- and had been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford
However, United has reportedly balked at Dortmund's valuation of Sancho, which stands at around $140m.
Sancho, who was pictured in the UK last week, flew back to Switzerland on Monday to join his team for pre-season training and the club's sporting director Michael Zorc says he is staying with the German club.
"We plan on having Jadon Sancho in our team this season, the decision is final. I think that answers all our questions," the Dortmund man told reporters on Monday.
"Last summer we adjusted Jadon's salary to match the development of his performances. So in context, we had already extended his contract until 2023 back then."
