Sancho comeback at BVB? ‘Electrifies’ all of Dortmund | OneFootball

After Giannis Konstantelias’ serious injury, BVB could make another move on the transfer market. And of all people, Jadon Sancho is back in focus.

Giannis Konstantelias’ serious injury could cause some late movement at Borussia Dortmund shortly before the end of the transfer window. The Greek new signing suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the Bundesliga opener against Hamburger SV (2:0) and will be unavailable to BVB for several months. In this context, Jadon Sancho is also back in the spotlight.

According to information from Sky, Dortmund’s decision-makers are discussing whether the squad should be strengthened again at short notice. Sporting director Ole Book is therefore reportedly not traveling with the team to the cup match in Hamburg on Tuesday (September 1). BVB still has until the end of the transfer window on September 1 at 8 p.m. to add reinforcements.

Managing director Carsten Cramer did not want to comment specifically on a possible Sancho comeback on Sky90. However, he did highlight the special bond between the Englishman and Dortmund. “We always want to stick to the truth: there are hardly any names that excite people in Dortmund more than Jadon,” Cramer said. At the same time, the BVB chief stressed: “But we handle this consistently: we do not comment on any names at all.”

Cramer explicitly did not rule out the possibility of Dortmund becoming active again before the transfer deadline. Sporting director Book and managing director Lars Ricken are currently considering the squad’s further planning — according to Cramer, “completely independently of the injury.” In addition, it is still unclear whether any players will leave the club.

At least in terms of a transfer fee, Sancho would be available to BVB for free. The 26-year-old is currently without a club after his time at Manchester United officially came to an end. The attacking player has already had two spells at Dortmund. Between 2017 and 2021, he developed into an international top player at BVB before Manchester United paid €85 million for him. At the beginning of 2024, Sancho returned to Dortmund on loan for half a year.

Overall, the Englishman has made 158 competitive appearances for BVB, recording 53 goals and 67 assists. Whether a third chapter in Dortmund will now actually follow should be decided by the end of the transfer window at the latest.
