Rumors of Borussia Dortmund trying to bring Jadon Sancho back to the club have reportedly been dismissed as “nonsense” by club officials.
After a public falling out with Erik ten Hag, Sancho spent the second half of last season on loan at Dortmund after leaving the club for Manchester United in the summer of 2021.
The England international looked rejuvenated in black and yellow, helping the club reach the Champions League final – where they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid at Wembley – and finishing fifth in the Bundesliga to secure a another year his place in the top European table.
Sancho initially looked set to stay at Old Trafford after he and the Ten Hag appeared to put past difficulties behind them, with the player enjoying a productive pre-season.
However, the forward has failed to make the squad for either of Man Utd’s Premier League games against Fulham and Brighton so far this season, playing just seven minutes from the bench, as the Red Devils lost the Community Shield on penalties to Manchester City.
Man Utd transfer news: Sancho on Dortmund says ‘nonsense’
Sancho’s lack of minutes has sparked further rumors of an exit and, predictably, given their history together, Dortmund were one of the clubs mentioned as potential suitors.
However, the German outlet Ruhr Nachrichten (via Get Germany soccer news) claim to have asked the powers that be at Dortmund about a possible return to Signal Iduna Park for Sancho, with a blunt response calling the rumors “nonsense”.
Juventus and Chelsea appear to be Sancho’s most likely destinations if he wants to leave Old Trafford before the summer transfer window closes, with the latter even reportedly considering a swap deal that it would involve Raheem Sterling heading the other way.
