Report: Bayern Munich 'Refused' Jadon Sancho Transfer in 2017

Bayern Munich reportedly refused the opportunity to sign Borussia Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho in 2017 when the youngster was looking to leave Manchester City.ย 

Bild's Christian Falk shared the outlet's report on Twitter:

According toย Bildย (h/t the Daily Mail's Anthony Hay), the Bavarian club's officials couldn't agree on whether a deal for the winger was worth it, so a transfer never materialised.

Sancho was frustrated with a lack of minutes at City and decided to joinย Bundesligaย giants Dortmund in the summer of 2017.ย BVBย were in the midst of a youth revolution, investing in the likes of Alexander Isak, Mahmoudย Dahoudย and Jacobย Bruunย Larsen.

He's been a smash hit this year, standing out for his incredible passing ability:

His great form resulted in a spot in England's national team selection, and per Scouted Football, he became the youngest-ever player without experience in the country's top division to feature for the Three Lions:

Sancho is a special talent who is improving at a fast rate, andย BVBย signed him to a new and improved contract at the start of October, perย Alex Richardsย of theย Daily Mirror.

John Cross and Adrianย Kajumbaย of theย Mirrorย have reported Dieย Schwarzgelbenย already value him at overย ยฃ100 million, even though a transfer doesn't seem imminent.

Here is a look at why the youngster is making headlines:

Ifย Bayernย did miss out on the opportunity to sign him last year, their current injury issues will only add to their misery. Theย Bundesligaย champions lost winger Kingsleyย Comanย to a seriousย ankle injuryย early this season and were without Sergeย Gnabryย to start the year.

They have once again been overly reliant on veteransย Arjenย Robbenย and Franckย Ribery, and the two are finally starting to show their age. At 34 and 35 years of age, respectively, they need plenty of rest throughout the season to still be at their best in the crucial contests at the end of the campaign.

Sancho's development may not have been as spectacular at theย Allianzย Arena as it has been in Dortmund, butย Bayernย could certainly use his pace on the counter and hisย keen eye for a pass.
