Dortmund lures Sancho back: Is the wing magician coming home again?

The rumor mill is churning: Borussia Dortmund is showing increasing interest in a comeback from Jadon Sancho. According to reports from derwesten.de Not only Dortmund are interested in the winger, but also several other Premier League clubs. Sancho, who played for the black and yellow from 2017 to 2021, moved to Manchester United for a whopping 85 million euros. His path led to a loan move back to Dortmund in 2024, where he played a key role in helping the team reach the Champions League final. This loan was followed by another detour to Chelsea, but it didn't last.

Sancho disappointed at Chelsea and was not signed permanently, which means an open door for Dortmund. Manchester United would now like to realize a permanent transfer, but are open to offers and could not turn themselves away from another loan, as is the case sports.yahoo.com reported. For Dortmund in particular, a renewed engagement of Sancho would not only be the return of a talent, but also a step towards strengthening the outside positions.

Sancho as a key position

BVB's considerations even go so far that Dortmund would like to integrate Sancho into the team in a new role as a potential number ten. These plans are to be implemented as part of the new 3-4-2-1 system under coach Niko Kovac, in which Sancho could play a key role behind new striker Serhou Guirassy. The goal is clear: the position behind Guirassy should be strengthened, and Sancho could shine in this role fussballtransfers.com reported.

But while the sporting considerations are promising, the question of financial feasibility remains in the room. Dortmund have already signaled their interest to Sancho's representatives, but they also face challenges, particularly regarding the financial aspects. Sancho still has one year left on his contract, which theoretically makes negotiations easier. BVB are optimistic that a return to Germany could be attractive for Sancho, especially considering that Chelsea walked away from a €30 million purchase obligation and instead resorted to a €6 million penalty.

Alternative options and a look into the future

In addition to Jadon Sancho, BVB has also considered other suitors, including Japanese winger Ritsu Doan from SC Freiburg, who has also attracted interest from Eintracht Frankfurt. The coming transfer period remains exciting and could bring some unexpected twists and turns.

The question remains: Will Jadon Sancho find his way back to Dortmund? The coming weeks will show whether BVB has a good hand and brings Sancho back to the Rhine again.
