One less candidate! Bayern drop player from transfer shortlist | OneFootball

Jadon Sancho will not be transferring to FC Bayern. The German record champions have apparently decided against signing him after initial contacts with the player's camp, due to high financial demands.

According to Sky, the former BVB star was on an internal list of potential offensive loan players that Bayern's management, including Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, was recently interested in. However, there was never a majority in favor of Sancho at Säbener Straße.

Excessive Demands Prevent Closer Ties

According to the portal Caught Offside, the Munich team was still loosely considering a possible signing before ultimately dropping the pursuit. The decisive factors were "excessive financial demands and agent fees." In particular, a hefty commission of over ten million euros demanded by Sancho's agent made the deal unappealing for FCB.

Atlético Madrid, which was also reportedly considering signing the 24-year-old, withdrew after the discussions as well.

BVB Return Also Off the Table

It remains unclear where Sancho will go next. According to Sky reporter Patrick Berger, a renewed engagement with Borussia Dortmund is currently considered very unlikely: the trail to BVB is "currently cold." There are no concrete signals from Manchester or Dortmund that a return of the winger is imminent.

Meanwhile, FC Bayern remains firm on its policy: according to the supervisory board's directive, there can only be one more new signing on loan this summer. The Munich team is therefore still scouting the market for offensive players who can strengthen the squad in depth.

What is clear is that the door at Säbener Straße is closed for Jadon Sancho. His camp's demands are too high—a no-go for Bayern. Instead, the focus is on other candidates who are available for short-term loans.
