Jayden Braaf is one of the brighter talents in Manchester City and in European football. He is being circled by Borussia Dortmund.
The rise of Jadon Sancho is well documented. When he was bought by Dortmund back in 2017, a fee of around 8 million pounds was reported and now his current value in the transfer market is close to 120 million pounds and that leap in numbers just shows what a big superstar the former Manchester City player has become. Jayden Braaf if not the same, is following in Sancho’s footsteps and has the potential to be a world-class winger. However, as per the German outlet, Bild, Dortmund’s interest in landing the 18-year-old from Eithad has grown a lot and now the former Bundesliga Champions are “very interested” in landing him.

It was only a few months ago that Braaf was promoted to the first team and began training with them. His agility and positioning on the pitch is something that can be seen only among the top wingers in European football. Keeping that in mind, Pep called him up to train with the first-team but the lack of game-time seems to have resulted in discontentment in the18-year-old’s mind.
The left-winger will be tempted to join Dortmund as his senior in Jadon Sancho has been heavily linked with a move away from Dortmund over the past few months and rivals, Manchester United are tipped to be the favorites to sign him.
So, how does this help Braaf?
Remember when Sancho joined Dortmund? (Yes, probably a regretful move but nonetheless)
He was straightaway handed first-team action and he has become the player he is today. The kind of exposure that Jayden Braaf is looking for can be found in Dortmund and there is probably no better team to find it in, among the top-most clubs in Europe.
The estimated asking price for the starlet is said to be in the range of 8-10 million euros but the Cityzens seemed to have learned from their mistake and are now looking to add a buy-back clause in the deal, though nothing stands confirmed at the moment. The option of a loan move seems to have the Cityzens on the same page, as well.
Jayden Braaf though is free to negotiate with other clubs and Manchester City will most likely be accepting any good offer that comes their way.
With the winter window fast approaching, do you think Manchester City should offload Jayden Braaf?
