Manchester City have growing concerns that academy jewel Jadon Sancho (17) sees his future away from the club. [Daily Mail]
Concerns over Sancho's pathway into Pep Guardiola's first team are understood to be the root of the doubt over his future. [Daily Mail]
There was talk of him leaving at the start of the summer window.
It wouldn't surprise me and to be honest I wouldn't blame him.
If the RB Leipzig offer is still there I would take it if I was him.
He will be signing a contract he wouldn't get a better one anywhere else.
Maybe it's about playing time and becoming the best player he can be and not money.
This is what more England players need to do.
Loftus-Cheek has lost at least 2 seasons if his career chasing the money at 17

I would like see him being ambitious and decline whatever salary we offer him and move to a club where he has a chance to play for the first team. He seemed like a smart kid in the interview he did for City TV, moving away from the "hood environment", next step is moving to a club where he has a chance to play first team football in the upcoming years. If he goes for the money at City, he will go on loans, where eventually he will drop form, and everybody here will forget about him and hype up the next kid coming through. People will make excuses like his attitude isn't good enough, he's a one trick pony. Better for him to move to a team where he will be allowed to make mistakes and develop. If I were him, I would move to RB Leipzig and try to break through in the upcoming years.
The academy is there for two reasons: to produce outstanding players who grace City's first team and to develop quality professionals who can be sold to improve revenue for the club.
I cannot believe that any true City fan, would recommend that one of the club's outstanding talents leave for opportunity away from the club. I am personally longing for players like Jadon to break through but he is just past 16! Give him, and the club, a chance!

Some right shite being posted on here! If anyone thinks a 17 year old would get any consistent game time in any side in premier are living in cloud cuckoo land.
There are clubs in the Bundesliga that play 17 y/o's. You don't think Sancho would become a better player by moving to RB Leipzig and playing first-team football in Germany than he would by staying here, playing one more season of academy football, then going out on loan the year after that?
I hope he stays as much as anyone here. Can't really see the argument that it's in his best interests though.
So what Im talking about the premier league. Have you not seen the quality players Chelsea spurs and Arsenal have in there youth teams? They have players as good as some of our best youngsters guess what they don't get a sniff in there teams first team. Sorry but some fans on here are clueless.
That's why they should all be looking at moving to Germany, Holland and Spain.
These promising English lads need to start thinking about their careers before money.
What's the point in staying in England if you not going to play and have your parent club stall your career?
