Borussia Dortmund plot third Jadon Sancho signing after troubled Manchester United spell

Published

on

Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Jadon Sancho for a third time when his troubled spell at Manchester United officially ends.

The winger is on loan at Aston Villa this season but is available on a free transfer in the summer and Dortmund have confirmed they hope to bring him back to the Signal Iduna Park.

Sancho is in the final months of a six-year contract at Old Trafford – though he has not played for United since the 2024 Community Shield and has not appeared for them in the Premier League since 2023 – and while they have an option to extend his deal for a year, they are unlikely to do so.

Dortmund, who made £73m when selling Sancho to United in 2021, also re-signed him on loan for the second half of the 2023-24 season.

Now, with the chance to sign the 26-year-old without paying a fee, Dortmund are looking at Sancho as a potential replacement for his former teammate Julian Brandt, who will leave in the summer.

Managing director Lars Ricken told Sport Bild: “We’re currently looking at a lot of players and analysing them closely. We check whether they can make us better. We’re doing that with Jadon as well.

“Of course, we are looking for an offensive player who brings quality, can help us immediately, and doesn’t require an unrealistic transfer fee.”

Sancho has only made 83 appearances for United, scoring 12 goals and getting a mere six assists, and was not allowed to train with the first team by former manager Erik ten Hag after relations between them broke down.

While United have tried to sell him since then, he has instead had three loan spells, beginning with a return to Dortmund, who he helped reach the 2024 Champions League final.

He spent 2024-25 on loan at Chelsea, scoring in their Conference League final win over Real Betis, though the London club paid a £5m penalty clause to United when opting not to buy him.

He joined Villa on deadline day in September and has since made 31 appearances, scoring one goal, and could reach a European final for a third successive season.

In his first spell at Dortmund, Sancho scored 50 goals and got 57 assists in just 137 games.

He became their third biggest sale ever after Ousmane Dembele’s move to Barcelona and Jude Bellingham’s transfer to Real Madrid.

“YOU’RE NOT A CHAMPION” – WWE official’s message to female star

Published

on

WWE is on the Road to WrestleMania, and the company recently hosted another major premium live event. Meanwhile, NXT General Manager Robert Stone sent a message to a female star following the recent edition of NXT when demands were made on X.

Last year, Mariah May signed with the Stamford-based promotion and joined the developmental brand. May, now known as Blake Monroe, was one of the names to leave All Elite Wrestling and join WWE under the new regime. Before the end of the year, she captured the NXT Women’s North American Championship and lost it in December accidentally to Thea Hail.

After losing the title, Blake Monroe feuded with Jaida Parker and returned to the division for the title she wasn’t planned to drop in the first place. On the recent edition of WWE NXT, Monroe and The Vanity Project’s Jackson Drake defeated Tatum Paxley and Shiloh Hill in a mixed tag team match. The 27-year-old WWE star pinned the current NXT Women’s North American Champion for the win.

Later, she uploaded a picture on X with a custom title and claimed in character that she’s now a two-time NXT Women’s North American Champion and demanded her side plates from the NXT General Manager. Robert Stone sent a message to Monroe and claimed she’s not a champion, stating it wasn’t a title match, which Monroe and Drake won on the show.

“YOU’RE NOT A CHAMPION,” Stone tweeted on X.

Monroe might’ve earned a title match against the champion, but the mixed tag team match was a non-title bout.


Blake Monroe lost at WWE Stand & Deliver 2026

Earlier this year, Izzi Dame won the NXT Women’s North American Championship from Thea Hail while she was in a feud with Tatum Paxley. Last year, Dame and The Culling turned on Paxley and cost her the NXT Women’s Championship against Jacy Jayne. The 29-year-old WWE star vowed to get revenge on her former on-screen family.

After Dame became the new champion, the title was inserted into her ongoing feud with Tatum Paxley. Later, Paxley won the title at NXT Vengeance Day and defended it against the former champion in a Steel Cage match and won. Later, she entered a feud with Blake Monroe, who stole the title in the weeks leading up to their match at Stand & Deliver.

The biggest event of the developmental brand took place in Missouri, and Tatum Paxley defeated Blake Monroe in a title match. After the match, Monroe took an assist from The Vanity Project and pinned the champion in a mixed tag team match. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for both stars in the coming weeks.
