According to the German media "Bild", Sancho's return to Dortmund has once again become an issue, and the Yellow and Black Army are also weighing whether they should sign him back from multiple angles.

A recent report from the British media Football Insider stated that Sancho will definitely leave Manchester United as a free agent next summer, and the possibility of him returning to Dortmund in the winter window is increasing. The reason is: After joining Villa on loan this season, he still has not established a foothold in the competition, and his statistics in the Premier League are depressing (a total of 317 minutes in 7 games, no goals or assists).

It is reported that Villa are very disappointed with the 25-year-old player's performance and even want to end the loan early in the winter window. This provides a huge opportunity for Dortmund to step in and get Sancho at a lower price.

According to "Bild" news, Dortmund continues to pay attention to Sancho's career and is carefully weighing the conditions under which a transfer makes sense:

The reasons for supporting Sancho's return include: He has proven when he was last loaned to Dortmund that he can immediately play an role in Dortmund. This outstanding technical dribbler played a key role in Dortmund's 2024 Champions League final.

And Sancho also knows that Dortmund will be his last competitive opportunity to save his career and get it back on track, so he is willing to give up a lot of salary to achieve a return. In addition, Sancho is a creative player, which is what Dortmund currently lacks. He can play on both wings as well as the No. 10 position.

At club level, Sancho's return will allow Dortmund fans to welcome back one of their favorite players, and jersey sales will immediately soar. In the management, sports director Kyle and CEO Watzke have both publicly stated that they are fans of Sancho.

The reasons for opposing Sancho's return include: Sancho currently does not perfectly fit coach Kovac's system because the latter has given up on using traditional wingers. And in recent years, whether it is at Manchester United, Chelsea or now Villa. Sancho doesn't have the strong form he had when playing for Dortmund. Dortmund now doesn't know what kind of physical condition Sancho will bring.

In addition, Sancho's return also means that Dortmund will once again have a star who attracts media attention, and he has made headlines due to negative news many times in his previous Dortmund career.

The report stated that it is now certain that Dortmund has not made a final decision on the attention-grabbing personnel topic of Sancho.
