By now, the script has become all too familiar for Borussia Dortmund and their seemingly endless conveyor belt of rising superstars.
Jadon Sancho was the first of a new generation to ignite his career at the Westfalenstadion and later move to one of the Premier League's powerhouses when Manchester United sanctioned a £73m deal for the 23-year-old in July 2021.
His one-time Borussia Dortmund team-mate Erling Haaland would follow the same path less than 12 months later but instead settling on a move to the Etihad instead of Manchester City's bitter rivals at Old Trafford.
