Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke says the Bundesliga club will not be making any major signings this summer but ruled out the possibility of winger Jadon Sancho departing.

Sancho, who scored 17 league goals and set up another 16  last season, has been linked  with a move to a host of top 

clubs, including Manchester United. Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said this month  the England international would not be leaving the Bundesliga club, and Watzke echoed his  sentiment.

“Sancho staying is set in stone. We will not discuss the details,” Watzke told German media. “What I can say is if Zorc, who is a Westphalian like me, talks about a definite decision, then it’s definite. There is no room for interpretation.”

Watzke acknowledged Dor­tmund’s finances have been  hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s a fact that there is no more money left for transfers. We definitely can’t make any more big leaps.”
