Reus urges Sancho to return to BVB – bosses expect humility | OneFootball

As of today, Wednesday, Ole Book is officially taking office as the new sporting director of Borussia Dortmund and, after his introduction, will presumably not want to lose much time but instead devote himself directly to the tasks ahead. First and foremost, this includes planning the future squad, with several personnel matters under discussion — above all the name Jadon Sancho.

A return of the Englishman, who was sold to Manchester United in the summer of 2021 for around €85 million and was loaned back again for the second half of the 2023/24 season, is high on BVB’s agenda. Not least because president Hans-Joachim Watzke would like to see Sancho in the black-and-yellow shirt again.

For a Sancho comeback to become realistic, financial concessions from the 25-year-old are required. In Manchester, and currently on loan at Aston Villa, he is still reportedly earning €15 million a year, whereas at BVB he would have to settle for around €5 million. And according to information from Sport BILD, Borussia, unlike what is usual with free transfers, do not want to pay Sancho a signing bonus. In general, according to Sport BILD, BVB expect “great modesty” from the attacking player for a renewed partnership to be possible.

Reus praises Sancho’s quality

Marco Reus, who once formed an at times brilliant duo with Sancho at BVB, meanwhile advised in Sport BILD that financial matters should be seen as secondary: “My main advice to Jadon is to look at where he can feel comfortable again and rediscover his game. And if that is at BVB, then it would be good both for him and for Dortmund!”

Reus also remains convinced of Sancho’s potential: “I have rarely played with a player who made such good decisions instinctively and in tight situations.”

Whether Sancho will soon be able to show that quality again at BVB — something that has only rarely come through in the Premier League in recent years — remains to be seen for now.
