Excl: “Everything changed” – Why Euro giants are back in transfer race for Man United misfit
Borussia Dortmund are now back in for the potential transfer of their former player Jadon Sancho, as confirmed by the club’s managing director Lars Ricken.
Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside, German football journalist Christian Falk provided us with his insight into the Sancho situation as he could now be set for a third spell with Dortmund.

Falk says Dortmund are now analysing if Sancho could improve their squad as he looks like a good market opportunity due to the fact that he’ll be out of contract with Manchester United this summer.
Sancho is currently on loan at Aston Villa and will surely not be staying there after a lack of impact, but it seems BVB would be open to working with him again after he previously shone during his first spell there as a youngster, and again on loan two years ago.
Why Dortmund changed their mind about Jadon Sancho
“Dortmund is analysing if Jadon would make the team better,” Falk told CaughtOffside.
“I think before Dortmund wasn’t sure if they’d go for Sancho because he wasn’t playing so well in recent seasons.
“But now they see a big chance, because they know they can make him better, and he’s now cheaper. He knows he can’t get the same kind of salary as before.
“The last time he was at Dortmund he showed that he can be important for this team and Dortmund is searching for this position.
“They know that Karim Adeyemi could leave the club in the summer and they need a new star. So a few months ago they weren’t sure about Sancho, but now everything changed.”
Where did it go wrong for Jadon Sancho?
Sancho looked like such an exciting prospect in his first spell at Dortmund and it’s been quite a surprise to see him struggle so much during his time in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old possibly made the wrong choice in moving to Man Utd when he did, with so many other big prospects also struggling at Old Trafford in recent times.
| Jadon Sancho | Games | Goals |
| Borussia Dortmund | 137 | 50 |
| Manchester United | 83 | 12 |
| Borussia Dortmund (loan) | 21 | 3 |
| Chelsea (loan) | 41 | 5 |
| Aston Villa (loan) | 31 | 1 |
Sancho will now have the chance for a fresh start this summer when he becomes a free agent, and returning to Dortmund could be the best way for him to revive his career.
