Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar has heaped praise on Borussia Dortmund’s electrifying winger Jadon Sancho, calling him a “special player” ahead of their highly anticipated Champions League showdown. In an exclusive interview with Baji, Neymar revealed his admiration for the 19-year-old English phenom, whose meteoric rise has made him one of Europe’s most sought-after talents.
Neymar’s Praise for Sancho: A Battle of Attacking Titans
As PSG prepares to face Dortmund in the Champions League last-16 first leg, Neymar didn’t hold back in his admiration for Sancho. “It’s going to be a fantastic match for football lovers,” Neymar told Baji. “Both teams love to attack, and Dortmund has players who can change the game in an instant. Jadon is one of them—I really enjoy watching him play. He’s got incredible quality.”
Sancho’s stats this season speak for themselves: 12 goals and 13 assists in just 19 Bundesliga appearances. His blistering form has put Europe’s elite clubs on high alert, with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City all vying for his signature.
Jadon Sancho has been a revelation for Borussia Dortmund this season, attracting interest from top clubs across Europe.
The Transfer Saga: Will Sancho Stay or Go?
Dortmund’s sporting director, Jesco von Eichmann, has admitted that Sancho could depart this summer, with a price tag exceeding £100 million. However, as Baji transfer expert Kaveh Solhekol notes, two key factors will decide his future:
- The Right Offer – Will any club meet Dortmund’s hefty valuation?
- Footballing Ambition – Sancho wants Champions League football and a club where he can continue developing.
“At the moment, no single club is the clear favorite,” Solhekol explained. “Sancho is fully focused on Dortmund and England’s Euro 2020 campaign. But with his talent, a summer move seems increasingly likely.”
Neymar’s Fitness and PSG’s Champions League Ambitions
While Sancho dominates transfer talk, Neymar’s own fitness remains a talking point. The Brazilian missed PSG’s recent Ligue 1 clash due to a rib injury but is expected to feature against Dortmund.
PSG manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed: “Neymar will travel to Dortmund, but we must assess his condition. Even if he’s not at 100%, his presence will be crucial.”
Conclusion: A Clash of Superstars
As Baji wraps up this exclusive preview, one thing is clear: the Neymar vs. Sancho duel promises fireworks. Will Sancho’s dazzling form continue to shine, or will Neymar’s experience tip the scales in PSG’s favor?
