Is Jadon Sancho returning to BVB a second time in his career and replaces the black and yellow Jamie Gitten, who is moving to Chelsea FC? Borussia Dortmund’s sports director Sebastian Kehl has other plans.
Despite all the interchangeable rumors, BVB will initially not strive for its ex-player Jadon Sancho in this transfer summer.
“I have the greatest respect for Jadon what he did for Borussia Dortmund. I can understand that questions come to him again and again,” Borussia Dortmund’s sports director Sebastian Kehl introduced in a media round on the sidelines of the club World Cup. However, the squad planner immediately took the wind out of the sails: “We have other ideas at the moment.”
The future of the offensive player has been unclear for weeks. The Englishman had been awarded by his regular club Manchester United to Chelsea – including the obligation to buy. But players and club could not agree on a contract – and bypassing the 30 million euro clause, the blues would rather pay a contractual penalty of around six million euros.

Despite a contract, he allegedly no longer has a future in Manchester. Most recently, Sancho was brought into play by the English “Metro” portal at Juventus Turin. Star coach José Mourinho from Fenerbahce should also show interest.

The fact that Sancho, who had been borrowed for Manunited’s second half of the season last year, will be traded again at BVB is mainly due to the upcoming departure of compatriot Jamie Gitten. The wing striker has been in agreement with Chelsea FC for a long time.
In Dortmund, however, there is “not under pressure” to sign a replacement as soon as possible, says Kehl. “We still have eight weeks of transfer time. A lot will happen.” Nevertheless, the sports director of the district club confirmed that you become active on the access page, “if the scenario” arrives.
The BVB will play its round of 16 of the club World Cup on Wednesday (3:00 a.m. MESZ/DAZN and SAT.1) in Atlanta against the Mexican club CF Monterrey. It seems questionable whether Jamie Gitten is there. The winger already completed his medical check at Chelsea, but there is no agreement between the clubs about the transfer.
“Things are a bit on the move, but there is no decision yet,” said Kehl. 65 million euros are available as a transfer.
