UMVA has learned that a potential transfer return to Borussia Dortmund for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho could be on the verge of collapse.
The 26-year-old's lackluster performance during his season-long loan spell at Aston Villa has raised concerns about his future, with Dortmund seemingly hesitant to pursue a deal. According to information obtained by UMVA, the German club is unsure about paying a transfer fee for Sancho, who may yet receive a contract extension at Old Trafford.
This development comes as a surprise, given Sancho's impressive stint at Dortmund as a youngster, which earned him a big move to United in 2021. However, his subsequent loan spells at Chelsea and Villa have been marked by a dip in form, leading to serious internal concerns at Dortmund about whether Sancho can regain his best performance.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Dortmund's uncertainty about Sancho's abilities has made them wary of paying a transfer fee, especially given his high wages. If Sancho were to become a free agent, Dortmund might be willing to take a gamble on him, but paying a fee appears too risky at this point.
Sancho's underperformance has led to speculation that Manchester United would be better off releasing him on a free transfer rather than keeping him on their books for another season. With his wages high and his form low, it seems uncertain whether United will pursue another loan deal or attempt to sell him.
