Jadon Sancho is close to departing Manchester United temporarily, with indications suggesting a loan return to Borussia Dortmund. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that ongoing talks between the clubs are happening, awaiting the green light for Sancho to join Dortmund’s winter training camp.
Back in 2021, Sancho moved from Dortmund to Manchester United for €85 million after a successful stint at Signal Iduna Park. During his time with United, the 23-year-old English talent excelled, scoring 50 goals and providing 64 assists in 137 appearances.
However, Sancho faced challenges in the Premier League when a fallout with manager Erik ten Hag in September led to his exclusion from the first-team squad. Despite being asked to apologize and reclaim his position, Sancho declined, resulting in no game time since the incident.
An exit in January appeared imminent, and now, a potential six-month loan return to Borussia Dortmund is in the works. Although Romano notes that the deal isn’t yet finalized, preparations for Sancho’s move to Dortmund’s camp in Marbella are underway.
Negotiations are focusing on a fee of around €4 million, encompassing both the loan deal and salary aspects. Dortmund’s ongoing winter training camp includes friendly matches against AZ Alkmaar on January 6 and Standard Liege on January 9, leading up to their Bundesliga return match against Darmstadt on January 13.
This potential loan move marks a significant change for Sancho, offering him the opportunity to reignite his career at a familiar club where he previously excelled. The negotiations center on financial terms, with both clubs striving to find an agreement that addresses the loan arrangement and salary considerations.
As discussions continue, the focus remains on whether the talented winger can make a successful return to Dortmund and potentially rediscover his form during this loan period.
