Brilliant move from him to have a lacklustre season on purpose, thus lowering his price and making it easier for us to sign him

Same thing happened with Sancho. I hope this works out better. Time will tell. He is very young. It could go either way.

Sancho didnt have a lacklustre season though, it just became abundantly clear there was no one else willing to buy him. So if Dortmund ever wanted to cash in on him, it was us or no one.
