Dortmund Eye Sancho Return as Man United Exit Looms This Summer

Borussia Dortmund are interested in re-signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United when his contract expires this summer.

Any return to Dortmund would require Sancho to accept a significant reduction from his current £300,000-a-week wages. The German club has created financial room by allowing several players' contracts to expire.

Football: Borussia Dortmund show interest in re-signing Jadon Sancho from Man United

Borussia Dortmund want to re-sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United on a free transfer this summer, with the winger expected to leave Old Trafford.

"Dortmund are keen on bringing back the player who made his debut for them in 2017. - media reports"

London, March 18

Eight-time German league winners Borussia Dortmund have shown interest in re-signing England-born Jadon Sancho on a free transfer from Manchester United, who bought him to his home country in 2021 and sent him on loan deals to Chelsea and Aston Villa in recent seasons.

The 25-year-old Sancho, who was born in Camberwell, Greater London, and made his name at former Bundesliga winners Dortmund, is out of contract at United this summer, and he's unlikely to be offered a new deal, according to media reports in England.

Dortmund thus want to take back Sancho to Germany, where he made his name as a teenager.

Jadon Sancho, the 23-time England international, is currently on loan at Aston Villa, his third spell away from Old Trafford since joining the Red Devils for £73million in 2021. Sancho's switch to Villa was a dry loan, with no option to buy included, www.mirror.com.uk reported on Wednesday.

Although Villa boss Unai Emery recently hinted at keeping the forward, Dortmund are keen on bringing back the player who made his debut for them in 2017.

According to a report in The Times, after choosing not to target any wingers last summer - due to Nico Kovac's insistence on playing a 3-4-2-1 formation - the Dortmund manager has changed his mind and approved a move for Sancho.

The report said that the former Dortmund star would, however, need to take a significant pay cut on his £300,000-a-week wages at United in order to secure a return to the Signal Iduna Park. Sancho made his name with the Bundesliga club, which signed him from Manchester City in 2017.

The report also added that Kovac's side has cash in reserve for the summer transfer window after deciding to let the contracts of Julian Brandt, Niklas Sule, and Salih Ozcan run out. Dortmund will therefore save roughly £21million in annual wages and is optimistic that they can convince Sancho, who's free to sign a pre-contract agreement with a club from abroad.

As a football fan in India, I've followed Sancho since his Dortmund days. He was magical there. The Premier League move clearly didn't work out. This is a smart move by Dortmund if they can get him on sensible wages. 🤞

Manchester United paid £73 million for this? What a waste of money. This is why Indian clubs are sometimes smarter with their budgets. Dortmund getting him back for free would be brilliant business. Lesson: don't always chase the big name.

It's sad to see such a talented player struggle. Maybe the pressure at a club like United was too much. The Bundesliga's style might suit him better. Hope he gets his career back on track! 🇩🇪⚽

Respectfully, I have to criticize Sancho's attitude a bit. Talent is nothing without consistency and hard work. Many young Indian players look up to these stars. I hope he uses this second chance at Dortmund to show his true professionalism.

The financials here are insane. £300,000 a week? Dortmund saving £21m by letting others go to fund this? It's a different world from the ISL. But as a neutral, I'd love to see the old Sancho back in yellow and black.
