Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovac reportedly open to Sancho return | OneFootball

With Jadon Sancho’s Manchester United contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation has emerged that Borussia Dortmund could bring the attacker back on a free transfer.

According to Sport Bild, a third stint at BVB for Sancho “is taking on increasingly concrete shape.” 

The driving force behind the potential move is said to be Sebastian Kehl, but head coach Niko Kovac is reportedly also in favour of a return for the Englishman, while sporting managing director Lars Ricken is warming to the idea.

Currently earning a reported €15 million per season at Manchester United, Sancho would have to accept a significant pay cut to make the move possible. Sport Bild suggests a more realistic annual salary for the 25-year-old at Dortmund would be around €7 million.

This season, Sancho has been on loan at Aston Villa, scoring once and providing one assist in 29 appearances across all competitions.
