Sancho to return to Borussia Dortmund as a free agent

Sancho to return to Borussia Dortmund as a free agent

English winger Jadon Sancho has expressed his readiness to rejoin Borussia Dortmund following the expiration of his contract with Manchester United. The 26-year-old footballer will become a free agent this summer and intends to play at Signal Iduna Park for the third time. Currently, he is representing Aston Villa on loan. Goal.com reports this news.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Ole Buck and CEO Lars Ricken are considering the return of their former star. Head coach Niko Kovac has already given the green light for this transfer. The coach expressed confidence in the potential of the player, who spent his best years in Germany.


During his career, Sancho excelled in Dortmund between 2017 and 2021 before moving to Manchester United for £73 million. However, after failing to find his place in the Premier League, he spent the second half of the 2023-24 season back at Borussia on loan, helping the team reach the UEFA Champions League final.

According to statistical data, Sancho's recent performances have declined slightly. He has made 33 appearances for Aston Villa, recording only one goal and three assists. In comparison, the winger was directly involved in 114 goals in 137 matches during his first spell in Dortmund. The German club management highly values the opportunity to acquire the player for free ahead of the 2026-27 season.
