It is confirmed time and again. Jadon Sancho apparently only finds his football happiness in Dortmund. It's not surprising that the 25-year-old winger is repeatedly linked with a return to BVB.

The names are illustrious: Manchester United, FC Chelsea, and Aston Villa. But with the Premier League trio, Sancho never consistently delivered the performances that distinguished him in black and yellow. He played a total of 158 times for Dortmund, achieving an impressive 53 goals and 67 assists.

Sancho's first stint with the Westphalians lasted from 2017 to 2021. During this time, he matured into an England national player, appearing in 23 international matches. Manchester United put 85 million euros on the table to bring the winger to Old Trafford. In the second half of the 2023/24 season, he returned to Borussia for another six months.

A third time to BVB?

Is the third BVB chapter in the career of the London-born player about to begin? Currently, he is on loan to Aston Villa until the end of the season, but he has only recorded two goal involvements in 25 matches. However, neither the Villans nor his parent club from Manchester show much interest in a permanent commitment. According to the tabloid The Sun, the Red Devils are ready to let Sancho leave for free in the summer. The English record champion is no longer willing to pay the weekly salary of around 230,000 euros.

According to information from the portal Teamtalk, Borussia Dortmund is willing to make an offer for Sancho's return this summer. Due to the expiring contract, the offensive player is allowed to leave Old Trafford for free in a few months. The player's advisors have known for some time that this is the most likely scenario.

"Jadon's advisors are seriously considering a move to Dortmund. He made an enormous impression there, and the club is eager to bring him back," explained a source familiar with the negotiations. Interest in the former BVB hero also seems to come from Italy's Serie A. Accordingly, SSC Napoli, Milan, and Atalanta Bergamo are considering signing Sancho.
