JAKARTA - Jadon Sancho has extended his contract with Borussia Dortmund until 2023 and has joined a training camp in Switzerland on Monday. Is this a sign that the winger has left Manchester United?

Sancho is the target of a number of top clubs with strong speculation that he will move to the Premier League. But now that opportunity is closed.

"We plan to have Jadon Sancho with our team this season, the decision is final. I think that answers all the questions," Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc told reporters in Switzerland.

The 20-year-old England national team player has had a brilliant season with the Bundesliga runners-up and has been said to be the target of a number of top clubs, including Manchester United.

"Last summer we adjusted Jadon's salary to match his performance development. So in this context, we have extended his contract to 2023 since then," said Zorc.

Sancho scored 17 league goals and set up 16 assists. Dortmund said they would only let him go if their price expectations for the player were met by potential buyers.

United have been widely rumored to be recruiting Sancho but media reports suggest that the club has been hit by Dortmund's € 120 million price tag.

That would make Sancho the most expensive transfer in the Bundesliga and would make Germany's top division lose the young players he was most excited about.

However, on Monday, Sancho flew with his team to Switzerland to start pre-season training.

The Bundesliga starts the new season on 18 September.
