Chelsea enters the race for Jadon Sancho as Tuchel is determined to beat Manchester United and Liverpool as he stares at a reunion.
The battle for Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho is hotting up between Premier League heavyweights, with Chelsea now expressing their interest in the attacker beside Manchester United and Liverpool.
According to Bild in Germany, Thomas Tuchel is lining up an invasion on his former Bundesliga club this season to swoop for the England international.
It is understood that Dortmund have a gentleman’s agreement in place with Jadon Sancho that will allow him to leave this season for the right price.
Last year, that fee was about £105million but now, due to the shock of the coronavirus pandemic on football’s finances, it is understood that an offer of £78m will bring Dortmund to the table.
Tuchel has had an outstanding influence at Chelsea since replacing fired club legend Frank Lampard midway through the campaign.
He has driven the Blues into fourth in the Premier League table, the final of the FA Cup and the semi-final of the Champions League, where they drew 1-1 away to Real Madrid in the first leg.
And with the Blues ownership looking to back the German in the transfer window this season, Sancho could well be a marquee bargain.

Chelsea have been linked with an array of other big names as well, including Sancho’s team-mate at Dortmund, Erling Haaland.
Furthermore, Sportsmail reported last week that Chelsea are contemplating a move to bring their former player Romelu Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge and that Inter Milan had priced a fee of £105m to do business.
In regard to Sancho, Manchester United’s long-term interest in the former Manchester City player has been well understood while Bild reported recently that his performances at Dortmund have caught the eye of the Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
But with Liverpool facing a season outside of the Champions League, a move to Anfield may well seem less appealing to the 21-year-old.
After a summer of being at the center of a transfer scuffle between United and Dortmund, Sancho experienced a slow start to the 2020-21 season but has returned to form with 12 goals and 18 assists in 34 games so far.
In all his time in Germany, he has scored 46 goals overall for Dortmund and provided 62 assists.
