Jadon Sancho does not need an introduction. The 20-year-old winger's rapid rise at Borussia Dortmund and promotion to England's senior team has made him one of the most sought-after players in Europe. With so many suitors lining up for him, there are many options in front of him.
He joined the Watford Academy as a seven-year-old and then moved to Manchester City in 2015. Being a home-grown product, a lot of English clubs are trying to lure him back to England but he has attracted attention from elsewhere too.
Though Dortmund might not be willing to part ways with their prized possession yet, he is expected to fetch a hefty transfer fee that only a handful of clubs across Europe could afford, as and when he decides to search for greener pastures elsewhere,.
Here we take a look at the five clubs that can sign the exciting player in the upcoming transfer windows.

#5 Bayern Munich
When it comes to buying some of the greatest talents produced by Borussia Dortmund, their title rivals Bayern Munich are right at the top. The list of players who've crossed over to the Bavarian capital in recent years is astounding.
Though The Bavarians have a great squad at the moment, which went on to win the European treble last season, the addition of Sancho to their ranks would be something that will give them even more of an advantage in the title race and send a signal across Europe that they mean business.
As per a report last year, it was claimed that Die Schwarzgelben won't sell any more of their players to Munich. Nonetheless, for Sancho who has been in Germany for the last three and a half years, the prospect of playing in the same league, with the most successful club in the country, might be too good a deal to refuse.
#4 Barcelona
Barcelona went trophyless in the 2019-20 campaign and recently missed out on the first silverware of the season as they were defeated 3-2 by Athletic Club in the Supercopa de España final.
Barcelona is one of the top clubs in the world, and to maintain that status, they are always in need of world-class players. In recent years, their reliance on Lionel Messi for the spark in the final third has been there for everyone to see.
With the departure of Luis Suarez as well in the summer, they are pretty light in the attacking front and could use someone as skillful and proven as Sancho.
The Catalans have not had a good experience of doing business with the Bundesliga outfit, as their €105m winger, Ousmane Dembele has struggled to fit in on account of injuries.
If they can ready some funds by the next transfer window, signing Sancho could be a possibility as Messi's future at the club remains uncertain and they need to add some quality to their ranks.

#3 Liverpool
Liverpool might not have been able to attract some of the best talents in Europe over the last decade but things are starting to change for the reigning Premier League champions. Thanks to their success in the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League, they rank among one of the best teams in Europe at the moment.
Jurgen Klopp has brought about a change in their style of play, and thanks to some shrewd transfer deals, he has built a winning squad at Anfield. Though there's no need as such for Sancho at the club, if they can afford him, The Reds would definitely like to admit him to their ranks.
Per AI Abacus, a website that specializes in using AI to help clubs make smarter transfer decisions, the English winger's skills fit in perfectly with Liverpool's style. As long as Mo Salah and Sadio Mane are in the squad, there's no place for Sancho at Liverpool.
If they were to sign him, it would make sense to buy him now before his valuation goes through the roof.
#2 Chelsea
If Jadon Sancho leaves Borussia Dortmund his most likely destination would be the Premier League. In the English toflight, Chelsea are one of the biggest spenders and Roman Abramovic is known for getting his checkbook out for the players he wants.
The Blues spent over €250 million last year on new signings but are worse off in the standings now than they had been a year ago. Sancho might fit in well at the London club as they are in process of building a youthful team and he could link up with his international teammate Mason Mount.
Sancho admitted in an interview in 2019 that he was a Chelsea fan growing up and though it might not play a huge role in helping him pick his future destination, that's enough to keep the fans excited in anticipation of his arrival.
#1 Manchester United
Premier League leaders Manchester United remain the favorites to land Sancho. They have been linked with the former Manchester City player for a long, long time now, and it is expected that after a failed bid in the summer, they will resume the negotiations with the German club this month.
Though their transfer business has been shoddy recently, their January signing Bruno Fernandes has been one of the best players in the league this season. They too have started investing in young talents, and the likes of Rashford and Wan-Bissaska are starting and impressing regularly.
While all the wingers at the Old Trafford are in great form this term, adding a player like Sancho can help enhance the competition for places in the starting XI and lead to an overall uplift in the quality of the squad.
Sancho still has a lot to learn and the rich experience of the Bundesliga would certainly help him in developing into a potential Ballon d'Or winner in the future.
