It gets even crazier: are Bayern now chasing Sancho? | OneFootball

Time is really running out now. On September 1, 2025, the transfer window for this summer will close. Former BVB favorite Jadon Sancho is still under contract with Manchester United. The 25-year-old Englishman has often seemed to have found a new club, but something always got in the way. Now, even FC Bayern Munich is said to have an eye on the winger.

Not many Borussia Dortmund fans will like the idea of Sancho wearing the FCB jersey in the future. However, according to Sky Sports, the German record champion is toying with the idea of loaning the speedy winger. With his one-on-one skills, he could liven up the Munich team's attack, it is said.

Currently, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany (39) only has Serge Gnabry (30), Michael Olise (23), and $70 million man Luis Díaz (28) available for the outside positions. The return of Jamal Musiala (22) is still pending after a fibula fracture at the Club World Cup.

A signing of Sancho would fuel the internal competition within the team. "We need more options for different game situations," Kompany is said to have told the board, according to the Spanish portal fichajes.net. The Belgian needs players who can provide new momentum from the bench, even in demanding matches.

Several clubs have already been in talks

Besides the former Dortmund player, Nicholas Jackson (24), a striker from FC Chelsea, is also said to be in talks at Säbener Straße. The Senegalese national player is, however, more of an alternative or addition to striker Harry Kane (32). A loan of Sancho, on the other hand, would compensate for the Munich team's lack of wingers.

Hardly any player has been surrounded by as many rumors as Sancho. The 25-year-old has been and is being linked to SSC Naples, Juventus Turin, Besiktas Istanbul, AS Rome - and also Borussia Dortmund. Not only the salary demands of the United pro (at least $6.5 million) but also the commission demanded by his agents have proven to be problematic so far. According to a report by the Bild-Zeitung, this is $10 million. Despite the player's great international experience, this is not a small amount.

One thing seems quite clear in the "Sancho case": his time at Manchester United is almost over.
