Jadon Sancho was a transfer target for Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champions sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed.
Sancho joined Borussia Dortmund from Manchester City in August 2017 and has made a fantastic start to the new season with Lucien Favre s side four points clear at the top of the table after 11 games.
The 18-year-old has recorded a league-high six assists despite often being used as a substitute, while he starred in Saturday s 3-2 Klassiker win over Bayern.
And Salihamidzic has now revealed Bayern also tried to sign Sancho, 18, when he left City in search of more first-team opportunities.
The truth is that Bayern Munich did want to sign Jadon Sancho and made him an offer which he, unfortunately, refused, Salihamidzic told Sport Bi…
Brendan Rodgers expects Cameron Carter-Vickers to be fit enough to return to the Celtic defence for Saturday’s cinch Premiership match at home to St Johnstone.
The influential centre-back has had an injury-disrupted campaign since undergoing knee surgery at the end of last term and he sat out Sunday’s Scottish Cup quarter-final victory over Livingston as a “precaution” after feeling a “twinge” in his hamstring.
Carter-Vickers has been given the all-clear after a scan, however, and Rodgers is optimistic that the American will be available for the visit of Saints.
The manager reflects on the Scottish Cup victory over Livingston in this Exclusive sit down with

Defending Russian Premier League champions CSKA Moscow suffered their first defeat of the new season, losing 1-0 to Spartak Moscow.
Spartak emerged victorious from a fiery derby in the capital, Dmitri Kombarov s penalty in the 61st minute settling the game in the visitors favour, before CSKA s Kirill Nababkin and Spartak s Sergei Parshivlyuk each saw red in the third minute of injury time.
CSKA s defeat means Zenit are the only team in the league with a 100 per cent record, although Andre Villas-Boas men needed a 31st-minute penalty from Hulk to seal a 1-0 win over newly promoted Ufa, as they attempt to regain the title they last won in 2011-12.
Dinamo Moscow leapfrogged CSKA into second with a 2-1 victory at Arsenal Tula, Douglas and Kevin Kuranyi on target in t…
Sergio Ramos says Real Madrid s players have enjoyed great success under Zinedine Zidane so far due to the great relationship that exists between squad and coach.
Zidane was promoted from the Castilla coaching job to lead the senior team in January after a fractured spell under Rafael Benitez, who reportedly struggled to command the full respect of Madrid s Galacticos .
The former France international won the Champions League for Madrid as a player, his wondrous volley helping see off Bayer Leverkusen in the 2001 final, and will now hope to add another European Cup to his CV in Saturday s showpiece with Atletico Madrid at San Siro.
Carlo Ancelotti led Madrid to their 10th Champions League success, beating Atletico 4-1 in the 2013 final after extra time, and Ra…
Maurizio Sarri does not think joining Bayern Munich would be a good move for transfer-linked Callum Hudson-Odoi, convinced he is best served by staying at Chelsea.
The 18-year-old winger is highly rated in English football, having played a key role in England s Under-17 World Cup triumph in 2017.
He has become a part of Chelsea s first-team squad over the last year, but has still only featured three times in the Premier League, and reports suggest he is refusing to discuss a new contract until he is given assurances over playing time.
As such, Bayern are said to have been alerted to his situation and have reportedly made several offers for the talented teenager, determined to not miss out on another promising English prospect after seeing Borussia Dortmund sign …
Is Lionel Messi s future on the verge of being resolved at Camp Nou?
Messi s contract with LaLiga powerhouse Barcelona expires this week and the six-time Ballon d Or winner has been linked with a move.
But, if reports are to be believed, the superstar is poised to extend his long stay at Barca.
TOP STORY – BARCA READYING MESSI ANNOUNCEMENT
Barcelona are preparing to officially announce an agreement has been reached with Messi, according to Football Espana and Fabrizio Romano.
The superstar captain has been linked with Premier League champions Manchester City and Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.
But Messi is now set to renew for a further two years at Barca, where the 34-year-old has spent his entire senior career.
La Liga trio Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Xavi Hernandez have been named on the three-man shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d Or award.
It is the second consecutive year in which the three nominees for football s highest individual honour have come from the Spanish top flight.
Messi is favoured to pick up a record-equalling third consecutive award after leading his Barcelona side to the Champions League title last season.
France legend and current UEFA president Michel Platini won the award on three straight occasions from 1983.
Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Ballon d Or in 2008, is Messi s closest threat after scoring 53 times for Real last term and helping his side claim the Copa del Rey.
Xavi, widely considered as the …
that Sporting winger Diego Capel has been given permission to leave the club in the January transfer window.
The Spaniard remains one of club s highest earners, but he is no longer playing an important role in the team, meaning a winter exit is on the cards.
According to A Bola, Sporting chiefs have decided to allow Capel to leave this January, albeit only on loan until the end of the season.
The latest reports suggest that Turkish giants Fenerbahce are keen on his services, and they are expected to come forward with an official proposal in the coming days.
Diego Capel, 26, joined Sporting from Sevilla back in 2011 and has since featured in 90 Primeira Liga matches, scoring 10 goals in the process.
He lost his place at the starting line-up at th…
Atletico Madrid are firmly focused on the visit of struggling Almeria as they aim to bounce back from a surprise La Liga defeat.
Despite a potentially season-defining month ahead of them, Atletico Madrid are looking no further than Saturday s home clash with Almeria.
Atletico could easily be distracted by a fixture programme that sees them up against Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, a tie that sandwiches matches against their two main rivals for third spot in La Liga Sevilla and Valencia.
The reigning Liga champions occupy the third and final Champions League qualification place at present, but are now seven points adrift of leaders Real Madrid after losing 2-0 at Celta Vigo last Sunday.
And defender Jesus Gamez has insi…
