Too expensive! Sancho stuck in limbo as Dortmund refuse to pay £50m asking price

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly to pay what Manchester United want for winger Jadon Sancho.

Sancho has rediscovered his old self since re-joining Borussia Dortmund on loan in January.

After a public disagreement with Erik ten Hag, the 24-year-old was excluded from Manchester United's plans and subsequently returned on loan to Dortmund. It's the same club where he made a name for himself with an impressive four-year stint from 2017 to 2021.

Sancho’s creative brilliance at Dortmund earned him a £72 million move to Old Trafford but he endured a miserable two-and-a-half years. 

Sancho to return to Manchester United?

Despite his return to form, the former Manchester City man is unlikely to earn a permanent move to the Bundesliga side.

According to Sky Germany, BVB cannot afford the fee requested by Manchester United, which is reported to be £50 million.

With manager Erik ten Hag still at the club, it is unlikely that Sancho will play for the Red Devils next season.

While Sancho has failed to replicate his incredible attacking numbers from his first spell at Dortmund, there were promising signs with three goals and three assists in 20 appearances.
