Manchester United urgently get rid of Sancho s high salary burden, but Dortmund doesn t want to be a takeover

Manchester United winger Sancho is expected to leave the team again this summer. Although there have been many recent rumors pointing to its possible return to Dortmund, the club's sports director Kyle has publicly downplayed the possibility.

Sancho has returned to Manchester United after a period of ups and downs in Chelsea's loan. Chelsea paid £5 million to withdraw from the mandatory buyout clause that was originally worth £25 million.

Manchester United is actively looking for a permanent home for Sancho, with one of the goals being to get rid of its high salary. Given that Sancho became famous during his time at Dortmund from 2017 to 2021, and once again proved his value after returning to Dortmund on loan in the second half of the 2023-24 season, it is widely speculated that he may return to the Bundesliga. Previous media reports said that Dortmund had contacted Sancho's team to express his interest.

However, Dortmund sports director Kyle denied the rumor. He responded: "Of course, we have been in touch with Sancho to some extent because we have a very long historical origin. But this is not an issue for us at the moment. We have other priorities at the moment, which is why Sancho's issues may be hyped in the media more than we discuss internally."

Sancho's future direction may be related to the situation of Dortmund's current winger Gittens. Chelsea showed strong interest in signing Gittens and was expected to continue trying to bring in the young England player in the coming weeks after failing to close the deal before the first transfer deadline.

Statistics show that during his two-time appearances at Dortmund, Sancho played for the team in total, contributing 53 goals and 67 assists, which is far better than his performance in the Premier League. A return to Dortmund should have been an attractive option for Sancho.
