Jadon Sancho makes decision: BVB return off the table? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund’s former attacking player Jadon Sancho has apparently made a decision about his future. A return to BVB now seems increasingly unlikely.

Jadon Sancho’s future remains a hot transfer topic this summer. One thing is now certain: after his exit from Manchester United, the former Dortmund player will be without a club from July 1. However, a return to Borussia Dortmund appears to be becoming more and more unlikely. According to the Manchester Evening News, Sancho has already made a basic decision.

According to the report, the English attacker is determined to continue his career in the Premier League. Other offers are currently said to be not a priority. That could also deal a blow to the hopes of many BVB fans for another comeback from the 26-year-old. Although there has been repeated speculation in recent months about a return to Dortmund, no concrete progress has been reported lately.

At the same time, the Bundesliga club’s decision-makers had never completely ruled out their interest. BVB managing director Lars Ricken said back in the spring: “We are currently looking at a great many players and analyzing them. We are examining whether they can make us better. We are doing that with Jadon as well.”

BVB’s interest in Jadon Sancho has apparently cooled significantly

Sporting director Ole Book also spoke at the time in a cautious but fairly open manner about a possible signing: “We all know that Jadon Sancho is a good, highly talented player who left a lasting impression here in Dortmund.” Despite these statements, the trail now appears to have cooled considerably. Transfer expert Patrick Berger had already reported at the end of May that the signs of renewed cooperation between Dortmund and Sancho were diminishing.

From a sporting perspective, the winger has endured difficult years in England. Manchester United signed him from Dortmund in 2021 for around €85 million, but he never consistently lived up to the high expectations. In 83 competitive appearances for the Red Devils, he managed just 12 goals and six assists.

His most recent loan spells also failed to bring the hoped-for breakthrough. For Aston Villa, Sancho recorded only four direct goal involvements in 39 competitive matches last season. His spell at Chelsea was somewhat more successful, where he registered a total of 15 goal contributions in the 2024/25 season. Nevertheless, no permanent deal materialized.
