Sancho move exposed as fake news: ex-BVB star still club hunting | OneFootball

The question still remains: What will happen to Jadon Sancho? While numerous professionals changed clubs on Deadline Day, the 26-year-old former Dortmund player is still without a club. And yet a solution seemed within reach.

Cast your mind back: in 2021, Sancho was still worth 85 million euros to Manchester United. However, his time with the Red Devils was marked by disputes and tensions—especially with then head coach Erik ten Hag (56).

Another loan spell at BVB, and later moves to Chelsea and Aston Villa, also failed to earn the dribbling artist a long-term deal. At least Sancho won two titles during that period: the Conference League with Chelsea in 2025, and the Europa League with Aston Villa a year later. With the Black and Yellows, the London-born player reached the Champions League final in 2024.

Netherlands, Brazil or...?

Despite those successes, no new club has made a move since his departure from Manchester at the end of June 2026. Sancho is repeatedly linked with a return to Borussia Dortmund, but those reports likely came more from the rumor mill. The same seems to be true of the claim that the 23-cap international would move to PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie, as reported by soccernews.nl.

Also pure fiction is the report that Sancho could be heading to Brazil, more specifically to Palmeiras Sao Paulo. According to fussballtransfers.com, Spanish streamer Spursito was having a joke and revived an old X account. Posing as a fictional Marca reporter named “Alfonso Partidor,” he spread the rumor that the unattached attacking star was moving to the Sugarloaf. Completely made up! Since there is absolutely nothing to the story, the former BVB pro is still on the lookout for a new club.
