On May 25, Beijing time, German "Sky Sports" Dortmund reporter Patrick Berger broke the news that Dortmund may not be able to buy out Sancho, who joined on loan in the winter window this season, although the latter has performed well in the half season after his return. Because, his loan fee of 5 million euros seems a bit expensive for Dort.

Sancho, who fell out with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag in the winter window, returned to Dortmund on loan, scoring three goals and providing two assists in 20 games in all competitions, and was one of the main contributors to the Hornets securing the top five in the Bundesliga and advancing to the Champions League final. However, Sancho's total loan fee (including wages) has also increased to €5 million from €3.5 million in the Champions League final. This price has already given Dott a bit of a headache. As for buying out Sancho, it was a bit overwhelming for them.

It should be noted that Jadon Sancho's loan deal does not contain any buy-out clause, which is also in the interest of both parties. Both Dort and Manchester United hope to make a more objective summary and evaluation of Sancho's state through this half season, so as to decide whether he will stay or not. And Sancho's good form after his return made Dortmund both painful and happy. After all, Jadon Sancho's return has rejuvenated Dort's previously surging dressing room and players who have no intention of fighting on the pitch, and finally sealed up next season's Champions League qualification and reached this season's Champions League final, and the effect is still obvious to all. With Reuss leaving at the end of the season, Sancho is seen as the best man to carry Dort's attacking banner in the post-Royce era.

However, Jadon Sancho's outstanding performance has also raised Manchester United's assessment of his value. In the summer of 2021, Manchester United paid a huge transfer fee of 85 million euros to Dortmund in order to sign Jadon Sancho. Although Sancho's current German turnover price has plummeted from a maximum of €100 million to just €25 million due to poor performances at Old Trafford, United still want to recoup as much of the cost as possible. Previously, CBS reporter Ben Jacobs said that Manchester United's price tag for Sancho is as high as 50 million pounds, which is in line with the price listed by Saudi Arabian team Dammam last summer when they cooperated to buy Sancho, and more than twice the price of Sancho's current German turnaround. If Manchester United insist on this asking price, Dort will have no choice but to retreat.

Some people may ask how Dort, who only earned hundreds of millions of euros on Bellingham last summer, and now reached the Champions League final and once again received a large amount of bonuses, how can it be that even the 5 million euro loan fee is a little inadequate. In fact, many people may not know that although the Bundesliga giants sold many stars, they only made a profit in 2019. Before selling Bellingham last summer, Dortmund had managed to scrape together transfer funds even through a shareholder allotment. When the epidemic hit in 2020, Dort's finances, which had finally achieved self-financing and healthy operation through careful budgeting, were once again stretched. So, now they can't afford to buy Sancho, they really don't have the money.

The most important reason for this predicament was the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group in 2002. At that time, they owned the broadcasting rights of the German professional football league, but declared bankruptcy due to debts of 2.2 billion euros, and owed the German professional football league at least 800 million euros in broadcast fees. And the most affected is Dortmund. The news of the Kilsch Group's bankruptcy caused Dort's share price to plummet, and the previous heavy investment and high wages of players made them heavily indebted and on the verge of bankruptcy for a time. It wasn't until 2008 that a new management team moved in, Jurgen Klopp took over as manager and a strong focus on developing young players, and in 2010/11 and 2011/12, Dort won the Bundesliga twice in a row, and in 2012/13 they reached the Champions League final.

Therefore, Dort has continuously sold off the superstars in the team, but he is still careful in his calculations, in fact, he has his own difficulties. After all, the influence of the Bundesliga is still far from that of the Premier League. Dot, who is not very large in size, can only rely on this way to maintain its operation. If Manchester United insist on the asking price of 50 million pounds, Sancho's fate with his old club Dort can only end here.
