Sancho return? BVB reportedly make final decision

After months of speculation surrounding Jadon Sancho, signs are mounting that a decision has been made at Borussia Dortmund. New comments from people close to BVB are now fueling plenty of discussion.

The hopes of many fans for another Jadon Sancho comeback at Borussia Dortmund have apparently suffered a major setback. After doubts had recently already emerged over a move for the Englishman, the indications are now growing that BVB will refrain from trying to bring him back this summer.

The comments from transfer expert Patrick Berger in particular speak volumes. “At the moment, the trail has gone cold, the deal is off,” the journalist said on the podcast Auffe Süd. That makes a third spell for the former fan favorite currently seem highly unrealistic.

Berger did not want to completely rule out a later twist if Sancho were to remain without a club until the end of the transfer window. At present, however, there is apparently no concrete progress between the two sides. Internally, Dortmund’s decision-makers are also said to be increasingly skeptical about whether the 26-year-old can still provide the desired value on the pitch.

Another key factor is likely to be the tactical setup preferred by coach Niko Kovac. The manager favors a system with a back three, in which traditional wingers hardly play a role. That, however, is precisely where Sancho’s greatest strengths lie, as he enjoyed his best years at BVB operating out wide.

Sky reporter Jesco von Eichmann summed up the doubts clearly: “Logic says that in his current form, he doesn’t improve your team.” In fact, Sancho’s past season was also disappointing. During his loan spell at Aston Villa, the attacking player only rarely impressed. There is also still uncertainty regarding his contract situation. Although his deal with Manchester United is expiring, the Red Devils apparently have an option to extend it. In Dortmund, there are therefore still fears that a transfer fee could end up being required after all.

While a return to the Black and Yellows therefore seems increasingly unlikely, other options are already being discussed. According to media reports, Sancho could move to Turkey instead. Fenerbahce in particular is said to still be monitoring the former England international.
