In another report, Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director, Sebastian Kehl has declared that the club “will try everything” to keep Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho beyond the end of the season.
Sancho, who has a contract until 2026, returned to Dortmund on a six-month loan in January. He made his name at Dortmund before a big-money move to the Premier League in 2021.
The England international has had a difficult time at United and had only played three matches off the bench after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag earlier in the season.
After a slow start, Sancho has impressed in recent weeks and was outstanding in Dortmund’s 1-0 Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Speaking with German news outlet Welt, Kehl said Sancho had “found his smile again here”.
