But Chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke believes the Englishman will remain at the club to help them win titles

"I think he has the feeling that the club does have a good future," Watzke told BBC Sport.

"In my opinion, I don't think he wants to leave.

"We have a very confidential relationship between us and him and his agents. We will discuss it."

"It's not a question of money.

“For us, it would be the best position if he stays at Borussia Dortmund.

"We have enough money. We want to have titles. I think this team has a lot more potential with Jadon than without Jadon."
