Jadon Sancho may be about to return to Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. As the pay-TV broadcaster Sky reported on Tuesday, those responsible at BVB and Sancho's current employer, Manchester United, are in concrete discussions about a loan deal until the end of the season. The England international himself is said to be open to a move to Dortmund. According to “Bild”, the financial volume of the planned deal should amount to three million euros including salary and loan fee.

According to English media reports, other clubs are also interested in the offensive player, including West Ham United from the Premier League. The 23-year-old Sancho fell out of favor at Man United after his criticism of coach Erik ten Hag and is expected to leave the English record champions in the winter. There have been rumors about a return to BVB for a long time, but sports director Sebastian Kehl publicly commented on them at the beginning of October: “Not an issue at all.”

Sancho played at BVB from 2017 to 2021 and also became an England international there. He moved to Man United for a fee of at least 85 million euros and has a contract there until mid-2026.
