Fresh return rumours: Dortmund keeping an eye on Jadon Sancho’s situation

When Aston Villa faces Manchester United today (kick-off: 5:30 p.m.), Jadon Sancho will, in all likelihood, once again only find himself on the bench. Even against his parent club, which loaned Sancho to Birmingham, it is unlikely he will make his first starting appearance of the current Premier League season. It is even possible that Sancho could soon turn his back on Aston Villa altogether.

While Aston Villa is on the verge of signing Brazilian talent Alysson (Gremio Porto Alegre) and is also said to be pursuing Brennan Johnson (Tottenham Hotspur), Sancho appears to play at most a minor role in their plans. Coach Unai Emery is reportedly even prepared to let the 25-year-old leave again as early as this winter.

However, Villa does not have the option to terminate the loan via a clause, and Man United has no interest in Sancho returning. The only way out would be a move to a third club, for which all parties are said to be open.

Contacts also in France and Italy

Intermediaries have already established contacts in this regard, for example with AS Monaco and Como 1907. Sancho’s connection to Borussia Dortmund apparently remains intact, and a return to BVB is still considered a possible option.

After it was reported in November that BVB had no interest in re-signing Sancho due to significant concerns both financially and athletically, Sport Bild now reports that Borussia still values the attacking player highly and is monitoring his situation.

The fundamental requirement for a comeback in the black and yellow jersey, as was the case with the loan in spring 2024, would be a suitable financial arrangement. Back then, Man United covered a large portion of Sancho’s salary. In general, the 23-time England international will have to accept some concessions sooner or later, as his contract in Manchester, reportedly worth around 20 million euros per year, expires at the end of the season.
