Former Dortmund midfielder Jadon Sancho
Borussia Dortmund managing director Lars Ricken has confirmed the club is actively considering a move for Jadon Sancho ahead of the upcoming transfer window, with discussions currently at an exploratory stage.
Ricken indicated that Dortmund are evaluating several attacking options, with Sancho among the players under review as the club looks to strengthen its offensive lineup for next season.
Sancho’s situation has drawn attention due to his contractual status with Manchester United, where his deal is approaching its expiry, potentially making him available on a free or reduced transfer fee.
The winger is currently on loan at Aston Villa, with that temporary deal also set to conclude on June 30, further opening the door for a permanent move elsewhere.
Despite limited impact during his loan spell at Villa, Dortmund’s interest is largely driven by Sancho’s past success at the club, where he previously established himself as one of Europe’s most productive young attackers.
During his earlier stint in Germany, Sancho delivered consistent performances in the Bundesliga, registering significant goal and assist contributions that elevated his profile on the European stage.
Financial considerations remain central to any potential deal, with Dortmund cautious about transfer fees and wages, particularly given Sancho’s high salary at Manchester United.
While no formal bid has been submitted, the confirmation from Ricken signals genuine interest, with Dortmund weighing the feasibility of a reunion as they continue to assess options in the transfer market.
