Sancho return? BVB suddenly left bemused | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is apparently becoming increasingly skeptical about a possible return of Jadon Sancho. One statement in particular about the Englishman’s alleged desire to move has caused surprise at BVB.

Jadon Sancho’s future remains uncertain — but another return to Borussia Dortmund currently seems anything but certain. As Sport Bild reports, skepticism at BVB is now growing over a possible third spell for the Englishman in Dortmund. One report in particular is said to have caused surprise among the club’s leadership. It recently claimed that Sancho is desperate to return to BVB.

According to Sport Bild, sporting managing director Lars Ricken was surprised by this, because such a wish had never been communicated directly internally. In addition to the unclear starting position, Dortmund are also apparently concerned about the contract situation. According to media reports, Manchester United still have the option to extend the attacker’s expiring contract at short notice. In that case, the Red Devils could still demand a transfer fee.

There are also apparently doubts at BVB as to whether Sancho can once again rediscover his best form on the pitch. During his first two spells in Dortmund, the winger became a fan favorite and recorded an impressive 53 goals and 67 assists in 158 competitive appearances. Winning the DFB-Pokal in 2021 is also among his greatest achievements in a BVB shirt.

BVB doubts Sancho return after disappointing season

However, his most recent years have been significantly more difficult. After his move to Manchester United, Sancho only rarely lived up to the high expectations. His current loan spell at Aston Villa has also not yet brought the hoped-for turnaround. Although the 26-year-old reached the Europa League final with the club, his personal record remains modest, with one goal and three assists in 38 appearances.

For that reason, even a possible wage cut does not currently seem to fully convince Dortmund’s decision-makers. According to Sky, BVB could also deliberately wait and only make a move late in the summer — also in the hope that Sancho will lower his wage demands.

In addition to Dortmund, several clubs from Turkey are also reportedly interested in the former England international. According to BILD, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas are closely monitoring the situation.
