Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho nears return to Borussia Dortmund on loan,
according to a report.
Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho ⚽️ is allegedly closing in
on a return to Borussia Dortmund.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Dortmund had
opened talks ⚽️ with Man United over a loan move for the 23-year-old, who is set to leave
Old Trafford during the January ⚽️ transfer window.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio
Romano, the deal 'is already advancing to key stages', with the England international
moving ⚽️ a step closer to returning to the German outfit.
"Jadon Sancho deal is already
advancing to key stages! Sancho wants Borussia ⚽️ Dortmund and the German club want deal
to happen very soon. Talks underway," Romano posted on his official X account.
"Man
⚽️ United, now open to accept loan but they'll have to pay part of Sancho's salary and BVB
will have to ⚽️ pay loan fee."

Sancho starred for Dortmund between 2024 and
2024, representing the Bundesliga outfit on 137 occasions, scoring 50 ⚽️ goals and
registering 64 assists in the process.
The forward completed a big-money move to Old
Trafford ahead of the 2024-22 ⚽️ campaign, but he has found it difficult to make his mark
at the club, only managing 12 goals and six ⚽️ assists in 82 appearances.
Sancho has not
featured for Man United since the end of August due to his falling-out with ⚽️ Red Devils
head coach Erik ten Hag, which stemmed from him being left out against Arsenal.
Ten Hag
said that Sancho ⚽️ was not involved at the Emirates Stadium the start of September due to
some poor performances in training, but the ⚽️ player took to social media to insist that
was not the case, claiming that he had been made "a scapegoat".

Sancho has
not been involved in the first-team environment at Man United for some time, and it
appears almost certain ⚽️ that he has played his final match for the club.
The forward has
a contract at Old Trafford until June 2026, ⚽️ though, and it is understood that the
20-time English champions are not willing to let him leave for a cut-price ⚽️ fee.
A loan
return to Dortmund is seemingly the most likely scenario at this moment in time, but
the Red Devils ⚽️ will have to pay part of his salary.
There have been suggestions of
interest from West Ham United, while Stuttgart, Bayer ⚽️ Leverkusen and RB Leipzig have
also been linked with his services.
However, Sancho is thought to have always favoured
a return ⚽️ to BVB, who are fifth in the Bundesliga table, while they progressed to the
last-16 stage of the Champions League ⚽️ as Group F winners.
