Dortmund seal €4m deal to take Jadon Sancho on loan from Manchester United
Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have concluded a deal for Jadon Sancho to join the Bundesliga club on loan for the rest of the season. The package is worth €4m (£3.4m) to United in terms of a loan fee and partial coverage of the winger’s salary.
Sancho will take a medical before signing for Dortmund, who do not have an option to buy him. Sancho thrived at Dortmund from 2017-2021, prompting United to pay an initial £73m for him, but his time at Old Trafford has turned sour and he has not played for more than four months.
Sancho has been frozen out of the first-team picture after refusing to apologise to Erik ten Hag for effectively calling the manager a liar. When Sancho was left out for the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal, Ten Hag said it was because the England international had not met the standards required in training.
Dortmund are making a second loan signing from the Premier League in the Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen. The Dutchman has completed his medical and Dortmund will have priority to buy him in June after Chelsea agreed to extend his contract to 2027 and include a release clause.
