Borussia Dortmund’s director, Sebastian Kehl, has openly expressed the club’s intention to retain English winger Jadon Sancho beyond his current loan period. In a statement to @welt, Kehl highlighted the club’s determination, saying, “We will try everything to keep Jadon Sancho here”. However, he also acknowledged the potential interest from Manchester United in either selling him for a profit or recalling him due to his impressive performances.
Sancho’s Current Form and Future Prospects
Sancho, who rejoined Dortmund on loan from Manchester United earlier this year, has been in fine form since his return. His performances have not only endeared him to the fans but have also reignited interest from his parent club, Manchester United. According to Kehl, the decision on Sancho’s future could be influenced by his current playing level, as he mentioned, “Manchester United also sees how well he is playing at the moment. Maybe they also want to sell him for profit or bring him back… we will see”.
Background on Sancho’s Return to Dortmund
Jadon Sancho’s return to Borussia Dortmund on a loan deal was finalized in January 2024, marking a significant move during the winter transfer window. Upon his return, Sancho was assigned a new jersey number and expressed his happiness to be back at the club where he previously made a name for himself. His return was anticipated following discussions earlier in the month, culminating in the loan agreement.
