Borussia Dortmund boss confirms interest in Jadon Sancho

Borussia Dortmund sporting managing director Lars Ricken has confirmed that the Bundesliga club is considering bringing Jadon Sancho back for a third spell.

With Sancho’s contract at Manchester United set to expire at the end of the season, the 26-year-old could potentially return to Signal Iduna Park this summer on a free transfer.

“We are currently looking at a lot of players and analysing them. We check whether they can make us better. We are doing the same with Jadon,” Ricken told Sport Bild.

Dortmund not only want to strengthen their attack, but are also seeking defensive reinforcements.

“Of course, we are looking for an offensive player who brings quality, can help us immediately, and doesn’t require an unrealistic transfer fee. In defense, Niklas Süle is leaving us, and Emre Can will be out for a while. So we are thinking about that area as well,” Ricken said.

Sancho, 26, made his breakthrough at Borussia Dortmund before moving to Manchester United for €85 million in 2021. He returned to BVB on loan for the second half of the 2023/24 season.

In total, the English winger has scored 53 goals and provided 67 assists in 158 appearances for Dortmund.
