Sancho back to BVB? Dortmund have a clear transfer plan | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are still considering a return for Jadon Sancho – but a transfer would only be realistic under clearly defined conditions.

Speculation about Jadon Sancho making another return to Borussia Dortmund shows no sign of fading. After the 26-year-old Englishman’s contract with Manchester United expired, the attacking player is now available on a free transfer. A third spell at BVB is still not considered concrete, but internally the topic is said to remain very much on the table.

According to BILD, Dortmund are following a clear plan. A move would mainly be an option toward the end of the transfer window – and only if there is still a need for reinforcements on the wings. Karim Adeyemi’s impending departure to FC Barcelona could play a decisive role in that.

For a return to happen, however, Sancho would have to accept significant financial compromises. According to BILD, Borussia Dortmund would only be willing to offer a base salary of no more than five million euros per year. In addition, no signing bonus is planned. Instead, those in charge would opt for a performance-based contract to keep the financial risk as low as possible.

Jadon Sancho remains a hot topic at BVB

So far, there has reportedly been no direct contact between the club and the player. The reason is that BVB do not want to raise false expectations for the Englishman. At the same time, Sancho is still considered internally to be an interesting candidate who could provide added value both on the pitch and from a marketing perspective.

The club’s decision-makers are said to have looked closely at the winger over recent months. Sporting director Ole Book watched several matches during Sancho’s loan spell at Aston Villa, while the club’s scouts also monitored his performances on site. Within the club, there is apparently a belief that coach Niko Kovac could help the attacker rediscover his best form.

Whether he will actually make a second return to Dortmund will likely only be decided in the final days of the transfer window. If Sancho is still without a club by then and BVB still see a need, the issue could gather real momentum again.
