Sancho return to BVB? These three conditions must be met | OneFootball

After signing Konstantinos Karetsas, Borussia Dortmund are still looking to strengthen their attack. Jadon Sancho also remains a topic at BVB — but only under clear conditions.

According to a report by BILD, Borussia Dortmund are still keeping the option of bringing Jadon Sancho back open — but only under clearly defined conditions. Although the attacker continues to be highly regarded by those in charge, skepticism about a third spell together is growing.

After signing Konstantinos Karetsas, BVB are said to be looking to bring in one more attacking player. Sporting director Ole Book recently made it clear what Borussia are looking for: a quick wide player with strengths in one-on-one situations to add to the squad. Sancho basically fits that profile, but he is no longer at the top of the club’s internal shortlist.

The main concern in Dortmund is the current condition of the 26-year-old. The fact that Sancho is currently keeping fit with English amateur club Flixton FC and that no other club has seriously pushed for a transfer so far has been closely noted by BVB. Internally, there are therefore doubts about whether the Englishman could make an immediate impact after such a long spell without consistent game time.

Sancho return to BVB still possible

Even so, the matter is not completely off the table yet. According to BILD, a return would only be considered if there is still a need in the squad toward the end of the transfer window, Sancho is physically ready to play immediately, and the financial terms are right. Borussia Dortmund are reportedly only willing to budget a basic salary of no more than five million euros and do not want to pay a large signing bonus either. Instead, the club’s decision-makers are hoping for a favorable opportunity in the final days of the transfer period.

For now, however, BVB are focusing on other targets. Said El Mala of 1. FC Köln is still considered the preferred solution. However, the two clubs remain far apart in their valuation of the transfer fee. While Köln are said to be demanding around 50 million euros, Dortmund’s highest offer so far, including bonuses, is believed to be around 44 million euros.

If a move for El Mala falls through and there is still a need in attack after the transfer window closes, Sancho could come back into focus despite all the doubts. Until then, his situation remains an option for Borussia Dortmund — but only under the right sporting and financial conditions.
