Sancho set for comeback? BVB return gathering pace | OneFootball

After his disappointing loan to Aston Villa, Jadon Sancho could return early this winter. Borussia Dortmund is apparently seriously considering a comeback for the wing star.

Jadon Sancho could soon be wearing the Borussia Dortmund jersey again. The English offensive player, currently on loan from Manchester United to Aston Villa, is experiencing a difficult time in Birmingham – and this could offer BVB an unexpected opportunity.

At Aston Villa, the 25-year-old is hardly getting a chance. After a few, mostly short appearances without any goal involvement, the Premier League club is reportedly considering an early termination of the loan in January, according to English and German media reports. Borussia Dortmund is also apparently keeping a close eye on the situation.

According to information from Bild, those responsible, including sporting director Sebastian Kehl, are carefully weighing whether a return of Sancho would make sense – and under what conditions. Reportedly, the English national player would even be willing to forgo part of his salary to play for the Black and Yellows again.

Sancho, who played for BVB between 2017 and 2021 and contributed an impressive 53 goals and 67 assists in 158 competitive matches, had already returned to Dortmund on loan in the spring of 2024. At that time, his strong performances played a major role in the sensational run to the Champions League final.

BVB hopes for Sancho comeback: Decision could be made soon

For Dortmund, a renewed commitment to the dribbling artist would be appealing both sportingly and emotionally. BVB is currently looking for a creative winger to add more unpredictability to their attacking play. Additionally, Sancho is still considered a fan favorite – his return would electrify the fans.

However, there are also concerns. Coach Niko Kovac currently prefers a system without classic wingers, which could complicate Sancho's role. Furthermore, it remains questionable what physical condition the Englishman is currently in, given his limited playing time in the Premier League recently.

No decision has been made yet, but one thing is clear: if Aston Villa does indeed terminate the loan, Borussia Dortmund would likely be one of the first clubs to seriously consider signing him – perhaps as early as this coming winter.
