Wage halved: This is what Sancho stands to earn on his BVB return | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is working on a spectacular move to bring Jadon Sancho back. However, the Englishman would have to accept significant salary cuts for this to happen.

The possible return of Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund is becoming increasingly concrete. According to a report by Sport Bild, those responsible are intensively working on re-signing the Englishman this coming summer. Coach Niko Kovac is also said to have now approved the transfer.

The main focus is on the financial framework – and it’s a tough one. As reported by BILD, Sancho would have to accept a significant pay cut to return to BVB. While the attacking player recently earned around 15 to 16 million euros per year in England, Dortmund is reportedly offering him only a base salary of between five and six million euros.

This comparatively low fixed salary could, however, be increased through performance-related bonuses. According to BILD, a total earning of up to around seven million euros would be possible – provided Sancho delivers on the pitch. The contract structure would thus be clearly performance-oriented.

Sancho Comeback: BVB Coach Kovac Gives Green Light

This means Borussia Dortmund faces only a manageable financial risk. A crucial factor: Sancho’s contract expires in the summer, so no transfer fee would be due. In light of several free transfers – including Julian Brandt and Niklas Süle, whose contracts will not be extended – the transfer of the 25-year-old could prove to be particularly economically sensible.

The idea also seems to be gaining more and more support internally from a sporting perspective. While sporting director Sebastian Kehl has long had a positive view of the player, the club’s management is now said to be convinced as well. Although the winger does not fit perfectly into Kovac’s currently preferred system, tactical adjustments are considered possible.

For Sancho himself, a return to Dortmund could represent an important opportunity. Things have been far from optimal for him in England recently, and staying in the Premier League is considered unlikely. BVB, on the other hand, offers him a familiar environment where he has already experienced his best spell. Whether a third chapter in Dortmund will actually happen remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is that talks are becoming more concrete – and the conditions for an agreement seem to be in place.
