4. England FW Jadon Sancho

The speculation around Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho is operating on a level of its own, making it excruciatingly hard for fans to follow these updates and deciding which to believe and which not. He is linked with heavy interests from several Premier League clubs that include Manchester United.

Like the other players on this list, Sancho too had a fabulous 2020-21 season. Among 51 total appearances with club and country, he found the net 19 times and has 15 assists to his name, per WhoScored. He is the sort of player who can help Real Madrid get their much-needed goals from the wings. He is equally effective on both flanks and can be a creative presence on the pitch.

He was very deservedly called up for the Euros and would be competing with footballing stars like Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane for a starting spot. Though his clubmate, Erling Haaland was heavily linked to the Royal White Club, Sancho is a character that can’t be put off the table, as we argued earlier too.

Jadon Sancho is currently valued at 100 million euros by Transfermarkt. With other parts of the squad needing attention, he could be an effective in-budget goal-scorer to keep an eye on in the Euros. He is one of the most exciting young players to watch at the moment and can be a good fit for the current Blancos squad.
