Former Dortmund star Jadon Sancho set for Bundesliga return? | OneFootball

Months after his departure from Manchester United, Jadon Sancho is still waiting for the right new club – and the Bundesliga is now showing serious interest in him as well.

Jadon Sancho remains without a club and is determined to wait for the right one. This is according to the English outlet “TeamTalk”. A return to Borussia Dortmund is no longer an option: the club’s decision-makers recently made it unmistakably clear to the attacker that a third spell at BVB is out of the question. In recent weeks and months, the Englishman has instead held talks with numerous interested clubs from Europe, Saudi Arabia, and the USA, but none of them led to a move. Negotiations over a transfer to Russian side FK Krasnodar also came to nothing.

At the start of October, the situation remains just as intriguing: clubs from Spain, France, and Germany’s Bundesliga are still said to be considering a move for the 26-year-old, but none of the interested parties appears close to a quick agreement. Como 1907, where BVB loanee Yan Couto is playing, also showed interest, but talks there have not progressed very far either. Jadon Sancho therefore has a clear plan: if necessary, he is prepared to wait until January before joining a new club at all. For him, the quality of the decision matters more than speed – he is determined to avoid a rushed move to the wrong project.

Why Jadon Sancho’s return to BVB fell through

The situation becomes particularly delicate because of the background to the failed BVB comeback. As managing director Lars Ricken explained in an interview with “Bild”, the club deliberately wanted to focus on new talents in the summer rather than a familiar face. The main factor against a return was above all the media attention that Jadon Sancho would automatically bring with him: “Jadon has such an impact,” Lars Ricken said in explaining his concern that even a backup role for the Englishman would not have been a realistic option. The reason: no matter what his situation looked like, “Jadon would be the only topic,” as he feared.

According to Lars Ricken, signing him would also have had direct consequences for other squad decisions. He openly questioned whether BVB would then have had to sell Fabio Silva, or whether a simultaneous signing of Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias would even still have been possible. A Sancho return would also have had consequences for the club’s own young talents Samuele Inacio and Mathis Albert, for example in the form of sales or loans. In the end, BVB deliberately chose not to go down that path.

For Jadon Sancho, that means the search for a new club goes on, and the Bundesliga remains at least one of the options on his list.
