Manchester United’s plan to sell Jadon Sancho has taken another blow with Borussia Dortmund reportedly getting cold feet over the transfer.

Earlier this summer, the winger was one of five United players told they have no future in Ruben Amorim’s team.

Marcus Rashford has left for Barcelona but the club is struggling to offload Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea and looked set to join them permanently, only for the Blues to pay a £5million penalty to cancel the transfer.

Juventus have been linked with the former Three Lions star all summer but it is said they have now cooled their interest, while Dortmund are now considering whether to sign Sancho for a third time.

His first spell in Germany, after joining from Manchester City’s academy, was a great success, recording 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 games, form that lead to the ill-fated £73m move to Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old returned on loan for the second-half of the 2023/24 season after his public fallout with Erik ten Hag and helped Dortmund reach the Champions League final.

Sancho is willing to slash his wages by half in order to facilitate a move, while United’s asking price has fallen to around £17m as they look to cash-in on the forward, whose contract expires next year.

While this should make a transfer to Dortmund more financially viable, Sky Sports Germany report that the Bundesliga giants have some reservations over doing a deal.

It is said that though they admire Sancho, they are wary of being criticised for a lack of creativity in the transfer market, especially after an underwhelming 2024/25 campaign.

Moreover, there are question marks over the player due to him being rejected by both United and Chelsea, despite his obvious talent.

Dortmund manager Niko Kovac has refused to discuss the prospect of signing the 23-cap England star, but sporting director Sebastian Kehl has confirmed it is possibility.

‘[Sancho] is constantly being linked with us. I understand the desire,’ Kehl said.

‘We’re thinking about it within our possibilities. The conditions have to be right. We will definitely do something, but we’re limited.

‘We have various targets. We have a few days left.’
