JADON SANCHO asked for talks with England boss Gareth Southgate after his nightmare month with Borussia Dortmund.
The winger, 19, is suffering a major crisis in Germany and he was slammed for his performance against Bayern Munich in a 4-0 defeat on Saturday.
Dortmund believe he is pushing for a January move back to England and they could now be willing to sell to Liverpool or Manchester United — but only for a whopping £125MILLION.
Sancho was substituted after 36 minutes against Bayern Munich with boss Lucien Favre admitting: “It was not good enough.”
He was also dropped and fined after turning up late from international duty after October’s game in Bulgaria.
Southgate said: “He came to me at the beginning of the week and we had 25 minutes chatting.
“We’ve a duty of care to help him to progress and develop. We’re also in constant communication with Dortmund.
“It’s an enormous challenge he’s taken on to go to another country. There’s the football, he’s adapting to life and the language. He’s done incredibly well.”
Sancho has been a major hit and has broken a string of Bundesliga records for a teenager but some club officials believe he has become lazy and has often turned up late for training.
Southgate added: “Any young player is going to have ups and downs.

“He’s played a lot of football — physically he’s a little bit fatigued.
“His club have kept playing him because he is a highly important player for them.”
Southgate confirmed he knew why Sancho turned up late after the last international break but would not give any details. He added: “I know everything — yes!”
