Third coming? Sancho without a club, but Borussia calls him home again

Jadon Sancho, now a free agent after parting ways with Manchester United, is leaning towards continuing his career outside of England.

Details: According to the BBC, the 26-year-old winger has received offers from Premier League clubs, but he prefers a move abroad. Borussia Dortmund—where Sancho made 158 appearances across two spells and enjoyed the best years of his career—are among the interested parties. As reported by Bild, the player himself is open to a third return to Signal Iduna Park.

Sancho's story in England became one of the decade's most high-profile flops: United paid Dortmund £73 million for him in 2021, but in five years never saw the player they had hoped for. His fallout with Ten Hag in 2023 was the breaking point: after that came only loan spells to Dortmund, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. On June 30, his contract officially expired, and the club let him go for free.

Dortmund see Sancho as a replacement for Julian Brandt, who is leaving the club after seven years. For a player with 158 appearances for the Black and Yellows and 23 caps for England, this is a golden opportunity to relaunch his career in a place where he has always been adored. There is a catch, though: the Germans are only willing to sign him on a significantly reduced salary.

Reminder: The end. Official: Jadon Sancho leaves Manchester United
