Sancho’s Dortmund Return Unlikely as Transfer Speculation Swirls
Reports indicate that Borussia Dortmund is not planning to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United this summer. The 25-year-old winger is currently on loan at Chelsea, but his future after this season is uncertain. Despite a built-in £25 million obligation to buy in his loan deal with Chelsea, recent reports suggest the Blues may opt out, incurring a £5 million penalty.
Sancho, who has expressed a desire to leave Chelsea and potentially return to Germany where he previously thrived with Dortmund, may find his options limited. Sky Germany suggests Dortmund lacks the financial resources for a move and already has sufficient players in wide attacking positions. His loan spell at Chelsea hasn’t been particularly successful, with only two goals in 23 league appearances.
With Chelsea’s potential hesitation and Dortmund’s stance, Sancho’s future at Manchester United remains in limbo. Incoming head coach Ruben Amorim is expected to restructure the Manchester United squad, and Sancho is reportedly among the players who could be moved to generate transfer funds.

Addressing the swirling transfer speculation, David emphasized his focus on performance, telling Golazo America:
- His future is uncertain this summer, open to staying or moving.
- If he does move, he aims to challenge himself at the highest level of club football.
- Playing for a major club means constantly fighting for a place in the team, with no guaranteed position.
- He acknowledges this summer as a crucial juncture and intends to make a well-considered decision about his next move.
He further added:
