WHAT HAPPENED?
After Chelsea passed up the chance to turn Sancho's loan move into a permanent deal earlier this year, the 25-year-old is facing an uncertain future. The England international has once again been linked with Dortmund, a club he spent four years at between 2017-21 before returning for a loan stint in 2024. But reports in Germany suggest a move to the Bundesliga outfit may not happen, and here's why.

THE EXPLANATION
Sky Germany journalist Patrick Berger states that while Sancho is prepared to accept a big pay cut to join Dortmund, the German giants have 'reservations' about recruiting the ex-Manchester City academy player. They include being concerned about signing him for a third time, the potential criticism of lacking creativity when it comes to transfers, and the fact that neither Chelsea nor United wanted him.

WHAT DORTMUND SAID
Berger relayed that Dortmund manager Niko Kovac refused to be "led onto thin ice" when asked about a Sancho move.
And Sebastian Kehl, the club's sporting director, said: "[Jadon] is constantly being linked with us. I understand the desire. We’re thinking about it within our possibilities. The conditions have to be right. We will definitely do something, but we’re limited."

WHAT NEXT?
United are reportedly willing to let Sancho, who has also been linked with a Juventus switch but Berger adds they have since 'cooled' their interest, leave for as little as €20 million (£17.5m). That is a far cry from the £73m ($97m) the Red Devils forked out for him in 2021.
