Update 6:36 p.m.: According to the “Picture“The negotiations are actually very concrete and are nearing completion. Total costs for BVB are under discussion in the amount of 3 million euros for the loan fee and partial assumption of Sancho’s salary. According to English media reports, other clubs are also interested in the offensive player, including West Ham United.
Well-known returnees to Bundesliga clubs since 2000
Despite the sporting crisis, Sancho has been out of Man United since the end of August with just one win from the last five league games and elimination from the Champions League as bottom of the group. Coach Erik ten Hag had suspended the third-biggest market value loser of 2023 for disciplinary reasons; a departure in the winter has long been considered certain.
In December, a possible swap with Dortmund striker Donyell Malen (24), who was willing to emigrate, was brought into play – but that did not materialize. A little further back, at the beginning of October, BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl even said that bringing Sancho back was “not an issue at all”. However, the football business is notoriously fast-moving and Dortmund is known for being happy to welcome lost sons like Mario Götze, Mats Hummels, Nuri Şahin and Shinji Kagawa back into the family. By the time of his 85 million euro move to Manchester in 2021, Sancho had become one of the most sought-after players in the world at Borussia. At one point, his market value was as high as 130 million euros – today it is still 25 million euros.
