What happened. Borussia Dortmund are considering re-signing Jadon Sancho as a free agent, but he would reportedly have to accept a heavily performance-based contract and forgo a signing bonus.

• Sancho's Man United contract expired in June after the club declined to extend it.
• He had underwhelming loan spells at Chelsea and Aston Villa in the past two seasons.
• Dortmund CEO Carsten Cramer refused to comment on the speculation.

“There’s hardly a name that electrifies the people of Dortmund more than Jadon – that’s just the way it is.”

— Carsten Cramer

Dortmund are wary of Sancho's fitness levels, which could delay his integration if he returns.
