90min learned back in September
The latest development in this ongoing story comes from Bild, who report that Dortmund will not be sanctioning any move for Sancho in the upcoming winter window. Despite the ever-growing interest in the 19-year-old, BVB are adamant that he will see out the season in Germany at the very least.
Dortmund's stance follows claims that Chelsea are 'close' to agreeing a deal, now that their transfer ban has been lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
However, while the report mentions that the Blues have informed Dortmund of their willingness to meet their demands, it also mentions that they are 'ready' to join the race and have not actually started trying to sign the forward yet.
What to believe is always tricky in these ongoing sagas, but one thing is definitely true - Sancho is a wanted man, and Dortmund have one hell of a fight on their hands to keep hold of him.
