Sancho comeback at Dortmund? Kehl responds to the rumours | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund wins 2-0 against FC Augsburg – but after the match, a possible transfer becomes the talk of the town. BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl comments on the rumors surrounding a return of Jadon Sancho.

The speculation about a possible return of Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund is gaining momentum once again. After the 2-0 victory over FC Augsburg, sporting director Sebastian Kehl was asked about the ongoing rumors regarding the 25-year-old – but he did not clearly rule out a move to bring back the former fan favorite.

However, Kehl made it clear that he generally does not wish to comment on possible transfers in the spring. “I would prefer not to comment on any names in March. We have already discussed the Sancho situation here very, very often,” the BVB sporting director explained after the match to Ruhr24.

The Englishman’s name has been circulating around BVB for weeks. However, Kehl also sees this as a result of the club’s appeal. “There are currently a lot of names circulating because Borussia Dortmund is a very interesting club,” said the 46-year-old – without going into detail about individual players.

Will Sancho return to BVB on a free transfer?

At the same time, BVB is already planning for the upcoming season. Internally, the squad is being analyzed and possible reinforcements are being considered. “Of course, many things are already in the pipeline. Naturally, we know which positions we want and need to fill,” Kehl said with regard to the upcoming transfer summer.

However, the sporting director also emphasized that economic factors continue to play an important role. Dortmund must carefully weigh which investments are possible. “Because in the end – as every year – we are somewhat limited in terms of budget. That’s normal, that’s nothing new for us.”

Against this background, a player available on a free transfer could generally be interesting. Sancho’s contract is expiring, making a move without a transfer fee possible. Officially, however, BVB continues not to comment on this. One thing is clear: personnel planning in Dortmund is already well underway in the background. And as long as there is no clear rejection, the rumors about a possible return of Jadon Sancho will likely continue to be a topic.
