Suddenly at tenth-tier club: ex-BVB star Sancho sparks rumours | OneFootball

After leaving Manchester United, former BVB star Jadon Sancho is currently keeping fit with an English tenth-division club. His surprise training visit immediately sparked transfer rumors – and the club responded with an official clarification.

Jadon Sancho is still looking for a new club following the end of his contract with Manchester United. To stay in shape in the meantime, the former Borussia Dortmund professional recently trained with English amateur side Flixton FC – unexpectedly triggering major speculation.

The tenth-tier club from the Greater Manchester area ultimately felt compelled to issue a public statement. The reason was numerous rumors suggesting Sancho might be on the verge of joining the club. Flixton, however, immediately dismissed those claims. “Jadon was not on trial with us and there were no transfer talks. He simply used our facilities for a private training session to keep fit while preparing for the next chapter of his career,” club owner Christopher Garcia clarified.

Garcia also said he was impressed by the 26-year-old’s demeanor. “During his visit, Jadon was thoroughly professional, humble, and generous with his time. Our doors are always open to him.” After training, Sancho took time for photos and autographs with young fans and left a positive impression on the club.

The future of former BVB star Jadon Sancho remains open

Meanwhile, Sancho is still waiting for the next stop in his career. After his move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United in the summer of 2021 for around €85 million, he was never able to live up to the high expectations at the Red Devils. Over five years, he made 83 competitive appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists.

In between, the Englishman returned to BVB on loan and reached the Champions League final with Dortmund. Further loan spells followed at Chelsea and most recently at Aston Villa. Despite winning the Europa League with Villa, Sancho played only a minor role there, which is why the club decided against signing him permanently.

Where the former England international will go next remains unclear. A return to Dortmund, as well as clubs such as Atlético Madrid and Al Rayyan SC, are repeatedly mentioned as possible destinations. For Flixton FC, however, the high-profile training guest is likely to remain a one-off experience. As a farewell, Garcia also sent his guest his best wishes: “We thank Jadon for choosing Flixton as his training base and wish him every success in the world at the next stage of his career.”
