Sancho 'seals new bumper £190,000-a-week contract at Dortmund'

Jadon Sancho has sealed a jackpot £190,000-a-week pay deal at Borussia Dortmund.

The England forward, 19, has been rewarded with an improved long-term contract that sees his salary soar to just under £10million a year.

It was offered to him after he turned down interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain to stay with last season’s Bundesliga runners-up.

His status as one of the hottest prospects in world football has now been acknowledged by Dortmund, who have handed the teenager a lucrative extension to his previous deal, which was due to run until 2022 and was worth around £75,000 per week.

Dortmund were bracing themselves for a battle to hang on to Sancho next summer, but they are now hopeful they can retain him a while longer following his decision to commit to the club.
