Jadon Sancho Favors Move Abroad After Leaving Manchester
Former Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is reportedly prioritising a move outside England after becoming a free agent, with the 26-year-old considering offers from clubs in Europe and elsewhere.
Key Highlights
- Jadon Sancho is prioritising a move abroad after leaving Manchester United.
- Several Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in the England winger.
- Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs monitoring Sancho.
- Sancho spent two spells at Dortmund and made 158 appearances for the German club.
- The winger is currently a free agent and can join a new club without a transfer fee.
Sancho is weighing his options six weeks after his Manchester United contract expired, with several Premier League clubs reportedly expressing interest in signing him.
Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs monitoring the England international. Sancho made 158 appearances for Dortmund across two spells and remains familiar with the German club.
The winger is said to favour continuing his career abroad, although he remains open to offers from clubs in England and other countries.
Sancho’s Manchester United Struggles
Sancho joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for a reported £73 million but struggled to establish himself as a regular first-team player at Old Trafford.
He spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Chelsea, making 41 appearances. Chelsea were initially understood to have an obligation to make the move permanent, but the club reportedly chose to pay a £5 million penalty instead of completing the transfer.

Sancho subsequently joined Aston Villa on loan last season and made 39 appearances as Unai Emery’s side secured Champions League qualification and enjoyed a successful Europa League campaign.
He also came on as a late substitute in Villa’s victory over Freiburg, marking his third appearance in a European final in three seasons.
Sancho Trains Ahead of New Season
With his Manchester United contract now expired, Sancho is free to negotiate directly with clubs without a transfer fee being required.
The winger has been maintaining his fitness by training with non-league side Flixton as he considers his next destination ahead of the new campaign.
Sancho’s preference for a move abroad could put European clubs in a strong position to secure the former Borussia Dortmund star, although interest from Premier League clubs could still influence his decision.
