Sancho back to Dortmund? BVB set their terms | OneFootball

Things are going well for Aston Villa. For Jadon Sancho, not so much. While the Villans have climbed to fourth place in the Premier League, the 25-year-old former BVB professional spends most of his time watching from the bench. However, for a comeback at Borussia Dortmund, he would have to make some concessions.

With a 2-1 away win against Leeds United, Aston Villa has moved into the Champions League spots in the Premier League. In the last seven top-flight games, the club from Birmingham has achieved six victories. Sancho, however, plays only a minor role in this success story. Not once this season has he been in the starting lineup for a league match. Against Leeds, he was only given 22 minutes of play.

His happiest time as a professional footballer was spent at BVB. Whether at Manchester United, Chelsea, or now at Aston Villa, he has never been able to replicate his performances in the black and yellow jersey.

Free transfer in summer 2026

It's not surprising that rumors of a third engagement for Sancho (after 2017-2021, 2024) keep surfacing. According to a report by the Daily Mirror, the 23-time international would have to accept significant salary cuts.

Even though he is mostly in the role of a benchwarmer, Sancho earns around 340,000 euros a week. Should he return to the Westphalians, he would have to give up half of his salary. The terms of his contract negotiated with Manchester United would not be acceptable for Borussia, it is said. Currently, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel (27) is the top earner in the Dortmund squad with 170,000 euros a week.

Since his contract with the Red Devils ends in summer 2026, Sancho would not cost a transfer fee. However, the winger is likely to want to secure a substantial signing bonus. From January, the 25-year-old could negotiate with a new club. To rejoin Dortmund, however, he would have to be satisfied with significantly less money.
