Jadon Sancho, the Manchester United winger, could see his anticipated return to Borussia Dortmund fall through as doubts arise regarding his transfer. Currently on a season-long loan at Aston Villa, the 26-year-old has struggled to make a significant impact, prompting speculation about his future this summer.

Reports from Sport Bild indicate that while Dortmund appeared interested in signing Sancho for a third spell, financial concerns have emerged. The club is hesitant to pay a transfer fee for Sancho, especially given his inconsistent form. Although the former England international is nearing the end of his contract with Manchester United, the club might exercise an option to extend it by another year to facilitate a potential sale.

Key points include:

• Dortmund's reluctance stems from doubts about Sancho's ability to regain his best form.
• If Sancho became available on a free transfer, BVB might consider taking a chance on him.
• His past at Dortmund was impressive, but recent performances have been disappointing, including loans at Chelsea and Aston Villa.

As Manchester United weighs its options, it may be time to let Sancho leave for free rather than retaining an underperforming player burdened by high wages. The situation remains fluid as the summer transfer window approaches.
