The German daily Bild reported on the 1st (Korean time) that Sancho is positive about returning to Dortmund and is ready to accept weekly cuts as well.
Sancho, who spent last season at Chelsea, was not accompanied by his original Manchester United tour of the United States. With Chelsea not exercising its full transfer option after loan, Manchester United manager Huven Amorim classified Sancho as out of power for the new season, making the transfer inevitable.
Various teams were mentioned as destinations. The first team that was mentioned was Juventus. Juventus reportedly made an official transfer offer to Manchester United after completing a detailed agreement with Sancho. However, as Manchester United does not accept the conditions offered by Juventus, negotiations are running parallel.
In the midst of this, Dortmund is being discussed as a new destination. Sancho, who grew up on the Manchester City youth team, made his professional debut with Dortmund in 2017. While playing for Dortmund until 2021, he posted a career record of 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 games. In the end, Manchester United succeeded in obtaining him by paying a transfer fee of 85 million euros.
However, Sancho's records for two seasons after the pandemic are ordinary. It did not meet Manchester United's expectations, which spent a large amount of money while staying in single-digit scores. In the end, he was loaned to Dortmund in the 2023-2024 season and spent the season with Chelsea last season. He scored five goals and 10 assists in a total of 40 games for Chelsea, but this was also far from what Chelsea expected.
Sancho seems to want to leave Manchester United as soon as possible. It has publicly expressed its intention that the proposal for weekly pay cuts is also sufficiently acceptable. Several clubs are throwing proposals to Manchester United over such Sancho. However, the negotiations seem to be getting longer as Manchester United does not easily show any room to step down from the transfer fee negotiations.
