Could it be possible for Borussia Dortmund to bring back Jadon Sancho for a third time? Recent reports suggest that Manchester United's plan to sell the winger has hit a roadblock, with Dortmund having doubts about the transfer.
At the start of the summer, Sancho was among five United players who were told by manager Ruben Amorim that they have no future in the team. While Marcus Rashford has already left for Barcelona, it seems that the club is struggling to offload Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia. Despite spending last season on loan at Chelsea and appearing to be on the verge of a permanent move, the transfer was cancelled after the Blues paid a £5million penalty. Although Juventus was previously linked to the talented former Three Lions star, they have now cooled their interest. This has opened up the possibility for Dortmund to consider signing Sancho for a third time.
As a reminder, Sancho's first spell in Germany, after being brought over from Manchester City's academy, was a huge success. He recorded an impressive 50 goals and 64 assists in just 137 games, which ultimately led to his ill-fated £73m move to Old Trafford. Last season, the 25-year-old returned to Dortmund on loan after a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag. He played a crucial role in helping the team reach the Champions League final.
However, it seems that Sancho's time at Manchester United is coming to an end. He has no future with the club and is even willing to take a significant pay cut in order to facilitate a move away. Additionally, United's asking price has also dropped to around £17m as they look to cash in on the forward before his contract expires next year. While this may make a transfer to Dortmund more financially feasible, there are reports that the Bundesliga giants have some reservations about completing the deal.
According to Sky Sports Germany, Dortmund is hesitant due to concerns about potential backlash for lack of creativity in their transfer decisions. This is especially true after their underwhelming 2024/25 campaign. Furthermore, there are also doubts about Sancho's abilities as he has been rejected by both United and Chelsea, despite his undeniable talent. While Dortmund manager Niko Kovac has avoided commenting on the matter, sporting director Sebastian Kehl has confirmed that signing Sancho is a possibility.
Kehl stated, "Sancho is constantly linked with us. I understand the desire. We are considering it within our means. The conditions need to be right. We will definitely make a move, but we have limitations. We have a few days left and various targets to consider." It remains to be seen whether Dortmund will take the plunge and bring back Sancho for a third time. It is certainly an intriguing possibility, especially considering his previous success with the team and the potential for a successful reunion. What are your thoughts on this potential transfer?
