Borussia Dortmund is considering bringing back Jadon Sancho in 2026, as the winger struggles to regain his form at Aston Villa.

Jadon Sancho’s struggles to recapture his best form at Aston Villa have led to speculation about his future. The winger has not started a Premier League game for Villa since making the switch from Manchester United, and Borussia Dortmund is now being viewed as a potential destination to help him get his career back on track.

Borussia Dortmund wanted to hand Jadon Sancho a late chance to return to the club at the end of the summer transfer window, and they remain open to the idea in 2026. Sancho’s previous loan spell at Chelsea last season failed to reignite his career, and there is increasing belief within English football that he may soon need to step away from the Premier League entirely in order to rebuild.

Dortmund has shown in the past that they can be the ideal environment for Sancho to enjoy his football and thrive. He previously played for the Bundesliga side until 2021, when he made a big-money move to Manchester United, before returning on loan for a successful spell in 2024.

Sancho’s wage demands as a free agent could determine whether Dortmund can afford to bring him back once more, but there is optimism that he would be willing to make the move work. Sources have confirmed that high-ranking officials at BVB continue to hold Sancho in high regard and believe his style of play would fit perfectly with the team once again.

Manchester United still holds his contract, but they are not expected to trigger an extension option on his current deal, meaning he is set to become a free agent next summer. This could give Dortmund the opportunity to bring him back to the club without having to pay a significant transfer fee.

The club’s officials believe that Sancho’s style of play would fit perfectly with the team once again and that he could help them achieve their goals.
