The English star made the switch to Manchester United in the 2021-22 season for a hefty £73 million ($101m) from Borussia Dortmund. Unfortunately, Sancho struggled to adapt to the Premier League and clashed with manager Erik ten Hag, publicly criticizing him on social media. As a result, he’s been sidelined from the first-team squad.

Sport Bild reports a potential return for Sancho to Signal Iduna Park in a swap involving Malen, a player admired by Ten Hag. Malen, now represented by new agent Maikel Stevens aiming for a move to England, is managed by Stevens’ agency, SEG, which also handles Ten Hag’s interests. This connection could facilitate a swap deal between the clubs.

Dortmund might initially bring Sancho back on loan while simultaneously selling Malen for €30m (£26m/$32m), mirroring the amount they paid PSV Eindhoven to secure Malen’s services in 2021. However, for Sancho’s return to Dortmund, he’ll likely need to accept a significant salary reduction, as the club won’t match his previous hefty £350,000 per week wages.

Reports suggest Sancho has been training rigorously, staying prepared for any potential opportunities in January. Alongside Dortmund, there are rumours linking him to Serie A powerhouse Juventus, where he aims to rejuvenate his career.
