Comeback at Dortmund? Ex-striker hints at Sancho return | OneFootball

Will Jadon Sancho soon return to BVB? Former striker Emile Heskey advises the Englishman to make a fresh start in Dortmund after his crisis at Aston Villa.

Jadon Sancho is once again at the center of discussions, and once again it's about his sporting future. The 25-year-old, currently on loan from Manchester United to Aston Villa, is also in crisis with the "Villans". After his disappointing stint at Chelsea and a difficult time in Manchester, things are not going well in Birmingham either. Recently, Sancho even faced the ultimate penalty: after being substituted in, he was substituted out in the same match – a clear humiliation for the former rising star.

Sancho had found his form again on loan at Borussia Dortmund at the beginning of 2024. Under Edin Terzić, the offensive player performed strongly, noticeably invigorated BVB's game, and led the Black and Yellows to the Champions League final. A permanent transfer failed at the time due to Manchester United's high transfer demands.

Heskey advises Sancho to return to BVB

According to former national player Emile Heskey, a new opportunity for a return could now arise. The former Liverpool striker sees Dortmund as the ideal place for Sancho's fresh start: "Jadon has a great relationship with Dortmund in the Bundesliga, so that's a direction he could take," Heskey explained in an interview with 10bet.

He also recalled the successful loan spell of the Englishman: "When he went back on loan, he was in the Champions League final. So it is possible – and you would think he can always return there, especially on a free transfer."

Sancho's contract with Manchester United runs until the summer of 2026. Thus, a free transfer return to BVB is indeed conceivable – a scenario that would be appealing both sportingly and emotionally.

One thing is clear: after years of setbacks, Jadon Sancho is once again at a crucial point in his career. Whether he will indeed return to BVB remains to be seen – but the door does not seem closed.
