Sancho Signals Willingness to Rejoin Dortmund on Free Transfer

He is prepared to take a steep pay cut to make the deal possible.

Overview

  • Sancho, who signaled through Sky's reporting on Thursday that he is open to a third stint at Borussia Dortmund, has held new talks about a summer move.
  • Those talks set out salary and bonus figures, and sources say Dortmund now has what it needs to decide.
  • Because his Manchester United deal ends this summer and he is on loan at Aston Villa, a switch would not require a transfer fee.
  • Reports in Sport Bild say he would accept about €7 million a year and could forgo a signing-on payment to ease the deal.
  • Coach Niko Kovač has reportedly approved the idea, though leaders Lars Ricken and Ole Book are weighing it as they await clarity on an injury Sancho picked up in a late-March friendly against Elche.
