Borussia Dortmund are in talks to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United on a free transfer this summer, with the negatives far outweighing the pros.
sportbild report Dortmund are getting closer to a second reunion with Sancho, and confidence inside the club is slowly growing.
Despite a difficult loan spell at Aston Villa, Dortmund are analyzing Sancho in detail. And the verdict is surprising; Sancho should be re-signed this summer.
marco reus support
Former teammate Marco Reus is also keen on the idea. In fact, he has also publicly come out in support of bringing Sancho back, which may hold weight.
“My advice to Jadon is mainly to find a place where he feels comfortable again and can rediscover his game. And if he is at BVB, it will be good for both him and Dortmund!” he told Sportbild.
He is confident that despite the current difficulties, Sancho can help Dortmund again. The forward has been struggling at Aston Villa, who he joined from Manchester United in the summer. This comes after struggling at Chelsea last season.
“I have rarely played with a player who made such good decisions so intuitively in difficult situations,” Reus added.
“He was quiet and introspective at times, but still radiated good spirits. Apart from his assists and goals, he knows what the game requires and what his teammates need.
“He’s a player who draws two or three defenders on him and can make accurate assessments to get his teammates involved at the right time.”
dortmund analysis
Sportbild reports Dortmund’s boss has come to the same conclusion. His data highlights Sancho’s exceptional tight-space control and pressure resistance.
According to him, the problem in England is that he does it in midfield, far away from goal. He believes he can flourish again in the Bundesliga.
He also feels that Sancho needs to get back into better physical condition. But this is not seen as a problem. Instead, manager Niko Kovac could be the ideal manager for him.
He has considerable experience in this field and the club has recently ordered 15 new exercise bikes worth €30,000 at his request. The results speak for themselves, Dortmund’s players are a great fit under the Croatian. Sancho may also benefit in a similar manner.
financial structure
But he will have to make financial sacrifices from his side. Dortmund are firm on this issue and will not proceed further. His proposal would be:
- €5m basic salary
- Performance-Based Bonus
- no signing bonus
They also expect ‘humility’ from Sancho. The early indications from Manchester United players, and possibly their camp, are that he is ready to meet those expectations.
Dortmund are also seeing benefits off the pitch. Sancho’s brief return in 2024 resulted in a significant increase in shirt sales. With Karim Adeyemi potentially leaving this summer, Dortmund need a new face to bolster their marketing. Sancho fits that role perfectly.
Reunion closer than ever
If Jadon Sancho wants to step up and shows the right attitude, Dortmund are ready.
He has gradually talked himself into the deal, fully considering football logic, financial logic and commercial logic. As far as he is concerned now, the only benefits are benefits.
