Jadon Sancho has been associated with numerous clubs in Europe in recent weeks, and again and again with his ex-club Borussia Dortmund. While BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl is now clearly and clearly a stop to a transfer of the Englishman on the Deadline Day, the new goal of the 25-year-old is certain: Aston Villa is borrowing the attacker from Manchester United, as the club from Birmingham announced late on the deadline day. Shortly afterwards, the team also officially made the loan with the possible obligation to purchase Liverpools Harvey Elliott.
For United, Sancho most recently stood on the field in the Community Shield, the English league cup, in August 2024. He had spent the 2024/25 season on a loan at FC Chelsea, previously he was loaned to Dortmund for half a year, which is said to have shown interest again this summer.
BVB boss Kehl recently made it clear to the TV broadcaster “Sky”: “Jadon Sancho will not switch to Borussia Dortmund. I have had the topic again and again in the past few weeks. But in the end we have to stay in our economic opportunities and cannot do crazy things. I can understand the desire of everyone, but Jadon Sancho will not switch to BVB.”
Elliott will also also appear as a loan for villa, but could remain permanent beyond the season. According to the AVFC, the AVFC has a purchase option that, depending on the number of operations, may even have to be activated.
