Why would they? I have no idea why he thought that.

Dortmund paid what...£8M for him? And he has been great.

This is the thing about big clubs, the smaller clubs know they have deep pockets. So they either hold out for their price or they keep a great player. Other than the potential that the player will pout and play like crap they hold all the cards.

Sancho is young enough that he has to keep playing well to get a great offer.
