Borussia Dortmund considers Jadon Sancho following Giannis Konstantelias injury
Summary

Borussia Dortmund is evaluating options to replace attacker Giannis Konstantelias, who faces a months-long absence due to an ACL tear. The club requires a replacement before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. Among the candidates linked to the Bundesliga side is free agent Jadon Sancho, who previously represented the team from 2017 to 2021 and during a 2024 loan spell. While reports from Bild and Sky Germany suggest internal discussions regarding a potential return, the outlets differ on the likelihood of a deal. Bild indicates a move could proceed if Sancho accepts a performance-based contract and waives a signing-on fee, whereas Sky Germany views a reunion as unlikely. Newcastle United forward Nick Woltemade has also been mentioned as a possible alternative for the Black and Yellows.
