Too many concerns: Dortmund not planning move for Jadon Sancho | OneFootball

Only 336 minutes of play spread over eight games in the Premier League, the Europa League, and the League Cup is what Jadon Sancho has managed for Aston Villa since his loan from Manchester United on September 1. Even in Birmingham, the 25-year-old does not seem to be happy, which has led to increased speculation in recent days about a return to Borussia Dortmund.

This is not without reason, as Sancho had the best time of his career at BVB before his €85 million move to Man United in the summer of 2021, and during a loan return in spring 2024, he at least partially showed flashes of his potential again.

A renewed comeback in the black and yellow jersey for the 23-time English international, whose last international match dates back to October 2021, is unlikely to happen at present, despite the chance of a free transfer next summer.

BVB with Double Concerns

According to a report by "Sport Bild," the recently stirred rumors in England suggesting that BVB would like to bring Sancho back have no basis. The Dortmund officials have rather (too) many doubts about the individual, which are both financial and sporting in nature.

BVB has concerns about being able to cover Sancho's salary, as he could only return in the second half of the 2023/24 season because Man United continued to pay a large portion of his wages. Additionally, Dortmund is skeptical about Sancho's sporting development, as he has not been able to recapture his glory days at Borussia in England, neither at Man United, nor at Chelsea, and now not at Aston Villa either.

Overall, the risk of making an expensive misstep and bringing unrest into the club is likely considered too high. However, it is not ruled out that this perspective may change in the coming months.
