On the other side of the Rhine, Borussia Dortmund is going through a paradoxical season to say the least. While the Ruhr club completely missed the end of the season last year in the league, the Marsupiaux had thus missed their best opportunity to be champion in the Bundesliga for so many years. This season, BVB has fallen into line. Worse still, Edin Terzić’s flock disappoints in the German championship and the Croatian coach is under serious threat. Standing in a worrying fifth place, Marco Reus’ teammates are 15 points behind Bayer Leverkusen, the formidable leader.
And while BVB made up for it with a very good run in the Champions League in the group of death alongside PSG, they will face PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16 in a few months. Eager to recover in the championship and with the prospect of a great epic in C1, the Ruhr club is necessarily looking to strengthen itself. Thus, German leaders have an idea that has occupied their minds for several weeks: repatriating Jadon Sancho, in great difficulty at Manchester United.
Dortmund and United actively working on Jadon Sancho loan move
Indeed, the English winger has struggled since his arrival at Old Trafford. The former Manchester City man, who arrived for 85 million euros in the summer of 2021, is a lost soul in the hell of the Red Devils and his relationship with Erik ten Hag is very fresh. Sidelined for a large part of the season for having questioned the choices of the Batavian technician, the versatile 23-year-old striker clearly sees his future dimming in the north of England while he is not has only played three games this season. Recently, Sancho made headlines in the English press for being seen in a nightclub while Manchester United was in the middle of Boxing Day. Therefore, returning to Dortmund has to be a prospect which could bring a little balm to the heart of the English international (23 caps).
And according to information from Sky Sports in Germany and The Athletic in England, this return seems to be on the right track. Indeed, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly working on a six-month loan deal that would send Sancho back to his sender. An idea which would delight the person concerned, determined to leave the impasse in which he is with the most successful club in England which has the keys to the operation. Indeed, according to our colleagues across the Rhine, although the interest is mutual between the BVB and the London native, it is necessary to determine to what extent Manchester United is open to a loan from one of their most large investments. An outcome is expected by the end of the month, but Borussia Dortmund has put a big boost in bringing its former star home.
