Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho has been linked with a return to his former club Borussia Dortmund.
Jadon Sancho will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Borussia Dortmund are hoping to sign him for free. The English international has not been able to live up to the expectations since moving to the Premier League, and he has failed at Manchester United.
The loans at Chelsea and Aston Villa have not worked out either. It would be ideal for the English attacker to return to his comfort zone. Returning to Germany could help him regain his form and confidence. Recent reports have also suggested that Manchester United would prefer to cash in on him in the winter transfer window. However, that will unlikely happen this month.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Borussia Dortmund keen to bring him back to the club, but only on a free transfer in the winter transfer window. It will be interesting to see if they can secure a pre-contract agreement with the player this month.
There is no doubt that Sancho is a quality player. If the Englishman can regain his form and confidence, he could be an asset for the German outfit. Manchester United have no plans to extend his deal, and they will not stand in his way.
Sancho could be useful for Dortmund
Signing a player of his quality on a free transfer could prove to be a masterstroke in the long run. It remains to be seen whether he can bounce back strongly next season. The 25-year-old played his best football in Germany with Borussia Dortmund, and returning to the club would be ideal for him. It could give him a huge confidence boost.
The player is still relatively young, and he has plenty of time to fulfil his potential. Joining the right team in the summer could help him get his career back on track. Meanwhile, the German outfit could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit.
The Manchester United troublemaker can operate on either flank and will add creativity and technical ability in the final third. It remains to be seen whether they can wrap up the move quickly. Convincing Sancho to rejoin the club should not be difficult.
