Jadon Malik Sancho is an English footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, on loan from Premier League club Manchester United. He was born on 25th March 2000 in Camberwell, Greater London. Sancho signed his first senior contract in 2017. He made 137 appearances in the four seasons and won the 2019 DFL Supercup and DFB-Pokal, where he finished as the tournament’s top scorer. He was also a part of the England youth team that won the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2017.
Why is Sancho signing off?
Winger will play for Borussia Dortmund against PSG in the semi-final with United expecting Sancho to leave permanently this summer. Manchester United expect Jadon Sancho to leave the club this summer despite his revival at Borussia Dortmund taking him within sight of Champions League glory.
United is prepared to listen to offers to all but a clutch of their rising stars but Sancho is not among those off-limits even though approaching the peak years of his career and showing good form during his loan in Germany.
Sancho will complete his loan at the end of the season, which could be at Wembley in June 2024 if Dortmund can defeat Paris Saint-Germain, with the first leg of the semi-final on Wednesday at Westfalenstadion.
Dortmund’s six-month loan package agreed in January does not include an option to buy Sancho and the forward will be due to report back for pre-season training at United ahead of pre-season fixtures starting on July 15 against Rosenborg in Trondheim, Norway.
But United sources are expecting him to leave this summer if a deal can be thrashed out with a buyer. They would inevitably take a hit on the £72.9 million paid to Dortmund in the summer of 2021 when Sancho was in England’s squad for the Euros and earmarked as a key player for then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
