[b]Jadon Sancho[/b] reportedly wants to make a return to [b]Borussia Dortmund[/b] after struggling to make a significant impact at Chelsea [/b]on loan from Manchester United. The 24-year-old, who initially showed promise at Chelsea, is now looking to leave the Premier League club and move back to the German Bundesliga side where he previously enjoyed his most successful period in his career.
Sancho, who was once a key player for Dortmund, moved to Manchester United in 2021 after a standout period in Germany. After his move to Chelsea, he started brightly, registering three assists in his first three Premier League appearances. However, his form has sharply declined since, with the winger scoring just one goal and providing two assists in his last 20 matches across all competitions. This sharp drop in performance has led to mounting pressure and speculation surrounding his future at Chelsea.
In light of his struggles, Jadon Sancho [/b]is reportedly eager to return to Borussia Dortmund, where he previously thrived and established himself as one of the top young talents in Europe. Dortmund, who have faced challenges this season in the Bundesliga, are believed to be open to the idea of bringing him back. Former Germany international Dietmar Hamann has weighed in on the situation, expressing that Dortmund would be willing to re-sign Sancho given their current struggles. “It looks like Chelsea might pay millions to send him back to Manchester United, so he might be an option for Dortmund this summer,” Hamann commented. “He took Dortmund to the Champions League final last season, and I think they would have him in a heartbeat.”
Chelsea currently has an obligation to sign Sancho for £25 million at the end of the loan deal, but the club is reportedly considering paying a £5 million penalty to cancel the deal, allowing them to send Sancho back to Manchester United. This penalty would free Chelsea from the obligation to complete the permanent transfer, thus giving them the chance to end their short-term relationship with Sancho while potentially facilitating his return to Dortmund.
For the time being, Sancho remains focused on his duties at Chelsea and is committed to helping the club secure a top-four finish in the Premier League. The Blues are currently fighting for a Champions League qualification spot and face a crucial test against Tottenham on Thursday, a match that could play a pivotal role in keeping their European hopes alive for next season.
