- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho is expected to be one of several key players who secures a move this summer.
Friday’s transfer deadline is around the corner and Sancho is once again looking for a new home.
Manchester United have won and lost their opening two matches of the new Premier League season, with out-of-favour star not being in the matchday squads for either game.
Borussia Dortmund return
HITC understands that Borussia Dortmund are ready to offer Sancho a move back to the club – as long as Manchester United sanction a loan move.
They previously ruled out a permanent deal for the 24-year-old after his six-month loan spell back at the club last season. He has impressed hugely for them, but they could not afford to buy him.
Dortmund reached the Champions League final, but they were beaten by Real Madrid at Wembley.
Since then, the £72 million trickster was re-introduced back into Manchester United’s first team after seemingly patching up his differences with ten Hag – but he has been left out of his team’s matchday squad for their opening games of the season.
Now, Sancho’s representatives have been told by Manchester United that he would be allowed to leave the club this summer and various clubs are looking into the options, but his huge wages are an issue that makes a permanent deal tough to do.
Chelsea, Juventus and Bayern Munich interest
Chelsea have asked to be kept informed of the situation as they would consider taking Sancho, as they would see that as a chance to move the likes of Ben Chilwell and/or Raheem Sterling to the FA Cup winners.
Manchester United have shown an interest in Chilwell, but again only on loan, whilst Sterling recently released a statement wanting clarity over his future and now it’s been made clear to him that he isn’t part of Enzo Maresca’s plans.
Dortmund are now looking into Sancho, as they are ready to have some room in their squad. They are ready to be helped by Manchester United’s minority owners Ineos because they are set to land Youssoufa Moukoko for Nice – which could, in theory, allow them to move for Sancho.
But Dortmund are not alone, with Juventus continuing talks and they also only want a loan.

They have concluded deals over the weekend for wingers Nico Gonzalez and Francisco Conceicao – both arriving on loan deals with options, similar to the deal they would like to do for Sancho. They are also close to concluding talks with Atalanta over Teun Koopmeiners.
Bayern Munich, who are looking to move on Kingsley Coman, are another club who have a possible interest in Sancho.
Vincent Kompany was appointed Bayern boss in the summer and they have England internationals Harry Kane and Eric Dier on board.
