In every transfer phase, Borussia Dortmund is linked with a return of Jadon Sancho. BVB icon Paul Lambert says: The “prodigal son” could finally find happiness again with the black and yellow.
At Borussia Dortmund, Jadon Sancho found a club where the fans loved him and he played really, really well. He moved to Manchester United and then it was a bit of a difficult time,” the Scottish former professional told Casinostugan.
The BVB supporters “loved” Sancho for his achievements in the black and yellow jersey, Lambert continued. “Sometimes they say never to go back, but to stand in front of 80,000 people every two weeks and feel that support and that love that you get from them when you perform is incredible.”
The 56-year-old, who played for BVB in the 1996/1997 season and became a crowd favorite, added: “I recently spoke to Jobe Bellingham about how he has settled in there, how he finds it and that he loves it. I knew that because I played there myself.”
According to Lambert, a BVB return would be “something very special for Sancho. But it is the club management that decides who comes and who goes.”
Sancho return to BVB? “The deal is off”
Recently, the trail towards Sancho seemed to get colder. “The deal is off,” revealed “Sky” reporter Patrick Berger in the “Auffe Süd” podcast.
According to him, there is only a small chance that Sancho will actually end up back at BVB. “If he’s on the market until the end and things somehow fall into place, you can never rule it out, but at the moment I can’t imagine that Sancho will play for BVB for the third time in the summer,” explained the journalist.
“Sport Bild” had previously reported that there were increasing doubts in BVB management that Sancho would be a real reinforcement for the team.
