Borussia Dortmund sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, has confirmed that the club will be holding discussions with Manchester United regarding the potential re-signing of Jadon Sancho beyond this summer. This comes amidst uncertainty over Sancho's long-term future in football.
Sancho initially joined the Bundesliga club on loan in January after falling out of favour under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. The forward had only managed three appearances for United before being excluded from the squad.
In a surprising turn of events, he returned to Dortmund after leaving them in 2021 and has since rediscovered his form from earlier in his career. Despite scoring just three goals in 17 games, the England international has played a significant role in propelling Dortmund to the Champions League semi-final.
Stellar performance against PSG showed Sancho’s level
Last week, Sancho received rave reviews for his performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League match. His impressive displays on German soil have sparked further questions about his future at Old Trafford.
While Ten Hag has remained silent on whether there is a chance for Sancho to revive his career back in Manchester, Kehl provided some insight into what might be next for him at Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, said:
"We will see. They are on loan, both of them, but at the end we need to make any decisions.
"They are under contract with their clubs so it means we will, at a specific point, get in touch and see if it is possible or not. I know that the players are welcome at Dortmund, they feel at home, especially Jadon, he knows our club pretty well. I think it was quite a good decision to take them in the winter, but again this is something for the future."
Potential extension with Borussia Dortmund
When asked about how he felt about signing both Jadon Sancho and Chelsea’s Ian Maatsen on permanent deals during an interview with TNT Sport, Kehl revealed that talks would indeed take place regarding extending their stay beyond summer 2024/25 season. However, no further details were given as to when these discussions would occur or what they might entail.
This news will undoubtedly pique interest among sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike as they eagerly await updates on this developing story.
While it remains unclear where exactly Jadon Sancho's future lies, it is evident that Borussia Dortmund sees potential in the young forward and is keen to explore the possibility of a long-term relationship. As we wait for more details to emerge, one thing is certain: Sancho's journey in football continues to be an exciting one to watch.
