Sancho to return to Dortmund? Decision reportedly made | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund has been linked to Jadon Sancho in recent weeks. Now, a final decision appears to have been made.

Jadon Sancho's return to Borussia Dortmund will apparently not take place in this transfer period. Despite recurring speculation, a deal for the Englishman from Manchester United to the Black and Yellows seems to have failed.

Sky reporter Patrick Berger explained in the Transfer Update show: "Currently, the door is rather closed." Accordingly, there are currently no concrete plans for a meeting between BVB and Sancho, and the Dortmund officials are not pushing for the commitment of the national player. Sports boss Lars Ricken also expressed himself cautiously at Sky90: "He is not a player of ours. I can understand that he is always mentioned in connection with us because of his past."

Sancho is still under contract with Manchester United until 2026. In the past season, he played on loan for Chelsea, who do not want to commit the attacker permanently. Manchester United urgently wants to sell the player.

BVB bosses Kehl and Ricken under pressure: Transfer window is closing

According to reports, Juventus Turin, AS Roma, Inter Milan, and FC Bayern are also interested in Sancho, in addition to BVB. At Bayern, the offensive player is on a list of potential loan candidates. However, a commitment would only be conceivable if United extends his contract. Moreover, there are apparently opponents of a commitment at Säbener Straße, so a concrete approach before the transfer deadline is considered unlikely.

Within the BVB team, there were some advocates for the 25-year-old, but coach Niko Kovac apparently vetoed it. According to media reports, a classic winger like Sancho does not fit into his system. Economic reasons also played a role: the budget with which sports chief Sebastian Kehl and Lars Ricken are working in the last days of the transfer period is limited. Instead, BVB is likely to officially announce two other transfers soon.

Thus, it is clear: Jadon Sancho's long-discussed return to Borussia Dortmund will not be realized in this transfer period, and the national player will have to turn to other options in Europe.
