Is BVB's coup off? Sancho return looks set to collapse | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund apparently may have to rethink things regarding Jadon Sancho. A return to BVB for the fan favorite currently seems increasingly unlikely.

The hopes of many Borussia Dortmund fans for Jadon Sancho to return once again may be fading. After the Englishman had recently been strongly linked with BVB, there now appears to be far less pointing to a third move to Dortmund.

As kicker reports, there is currently “not as much” in favor of a transfer of the attacking player to the Black and Yellows. Instead, there is speculation about a possible move to Turkey. Several clubs there are said to have shown interest in previous transfer windows already – with Fenerbahce in particular considered a possible destination.

BVB are continuing to keep their cards close to their chest in public. Sporting director Ole Book recently did emphasize the qualities of the former Dortmund player, but at the same time made it clear that any potential signing would have to be carefully assessed. “Jadon has great creativity and has already delivered very strong performances for Borussia Dortmund in the past. We absolutely know that,” Book said on Sky. At the same time, he pointed out that “you always have to look at the overall context.”

Jadon Sancho still raves about BVB

Sancho is still under contract with Manchester United, but is currently playing for Aston Villa on loan. With him, the English side reached the Europa League final, where SC Freiburg await on May 20. For Sancho, it would be his third consecutive European final – after the Champions League final with Dortmund and the Conference League final the following year.

A long-term future at Manchester United nevertheless seems out of the question. The Red Devils reportedly want to finally get the winger off their wage bill and are therefore expected to let their extension option expire. That could make Sancho available on a free transfer this summer.

From a sporting perspective, however, the former €85 million signing has so far fallen short of expectations in England. The 26-year-old is often used only as a substitute for Aston Villa. In 38 competitive appearances so far, he has managed one goal and three assists. Despite all the speculation, Sancho himself has made no secret of his bond with Dortmund. Asked about the best atmosphere of his career, the Englishman recently gave a short and simple answer: “The Yellow Wall.”
