Fresh hope for Jadon Sancho: Is the ex-Dortmund man desert-bound?

Will Jadon Sancho’s spell without a contract soon come to an end? Even on Deadline Day, no new club was found for the 26-year-old left winger. Now, however, the former Borussia Dortmund player apparently has a new prospect.

The list of his clubs is long and packed with big names. Sancho has already played for Manchester City, Chelsea FC, Aston Villa, Manchester United and, of course, BVB. Will a new name soon be added?

At times, it is said that the dribbling artist is moving to Turkey. Then AS Roma and Fiorentina are mentioned as possible employers. Another return to the Black and Yellows also keeps coming up now and again. Most recently, a Spanish streamer joked on X and linked Sancho with a move to Palmeiras Sao Paulo.

But nothing has happened to this day. Still, the 23-cap international can hold on to a bit of hope, because as a free agent he can still sign a contract in one of the top leagues even after the summer transfer window has closed.

Tax-free salary and high quality of life

Sancho now appears to have an unusual alternative. According to information from the British daily newspaper The Mirror, Arabian Falcons, a club from Dubai, are trying to lure the former Dortmund man. The name is unlikely to mean much to many football fans, as the club currently plays in Division 2 of the United Arab Emirates — the third tier.

The Arabian Falcons, only founded in 2023, apparently have ambitious goals. In the summer of 2025, they signed Ravel Morrison (33), a former Jamaica international. The midfielder, who also wears the captain’s armband, made a total of 18 Premier League appearances for West Ham United and Sheffield United. In the Falcons’ dugout sits Jonjo Shelvey (34), a six-time England international with 278 Premier League appearances to his name.

The Falcons are tempting Sancho with extremely attractive conditions. In addition to a tax-free salary and the high quality of life in the Emirates, the club’s ultra-modern training facilities are said to be a major selling point for the attacking star. The Gulf metropolis is not unfamiliar territory for the Englishman anyway: in the past, the 26-year-old has traveled to Dubai several times to recover from injuries in familiar surroundings.
