Second-placed Euro giants ready to take 25-year-old off of United’s hands this summer amid ‘fundamental interest’

To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Jadon Sancho is once again being linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund.

It has been the case in almost every year since he departed the Bundesliga outfit for Manchester United in 2021, given he has never once been able to reach the same levels he displayed while donning yellow and black.

How Jadon Sancho is faring as of late

Sancho has tested himself through loan spells with Chelsea and, currently, Aston Villa, though the former went as far as paying a £5 million penalty to bypass his £25m buy obligation last summer and send him back to Old Trafford.

He returned to Dortmund in January 2024 following his notorious fallout with former Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag, and went on to reach the Champions League final with the side before they slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid.

Now, amid a lacklustre season-long spell with Villa, it’s looking as though the 25-year-old will have to settle for a move outside of England when the summer window rolls around.

Sancho will become a free agent in June when his five-year deal with United expires, which may see him attract slightly more interest than he has garnered in the last two years, given that suitors won’t have to pay anything to facilitate a deal.

That being said, his exorbitant £200,000-a-week wages will undoubtedly deter teams from making an approach.

Dortmund’s stance on another Sancho reunion revealed

As per a fresh report from German outlet BILD (relayed by Sport Witness), Dortmund are ‘fundamentally interested’ in bringing the attacker back to the Westfalenstadion before 2026/2027 gets underway.

Julian Brandt is also out of contract in June, and club chiefs view Sancho as an ideal successor to the 29-year-old.
