Dortmund Rules Out Sancho Return, Sets Limit for Said Mula Deal

German newspaper Bild has confirmed that Borussia Dortmund is not considering a return for English winger Jadon Sancho, despite ongoing links to the club in recent weeks alongside negotiations for Saïd Bülbül.

The newspaper reported that the idea of bringing back Sancho has not been seriously considered within the club's corridors, as the management no longer sees him as a player capable of making a difference like he did during his first spell with the team. Furthermore, his decline in performance in recent years under multiple coaches has reinforced the conviction among Dortmund officials not to pursue the option of signing him, especially since he is expecting a substantial financial offer as a free agent, while he continues to maintain his fitness through individual training.

Regarding the Saeed Mulla transfer, Bild reported that Borussia Dortmund's management has set a clear financial ceiling, stating they will not pay €50 million for the player under any circumstances.

Despite this situation, the German club is preparing to improve their offer slightly, as Möller remains Dortmund's primary target in the transfer market. However, FC Köln is still holding firm on their financial demands, making it difficult to reach an agreement at this time.

The report added that if Cologne insists on their demands, Dortmund will back out of the deal and look for other options in the transfer market.

Meanwhile, the club hopes that Saeed Al-Mulla will continue to hold on to his desire to move to Dortmund, after receiving an offer for a five-year contract, with the player's wish to conclude negotiations quickly, although a final agreement has not yet been reached.
