Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic is unsure whether Jadon Sancho will continue with the German club beyond his current loan spell.
Sancho was made to train with the youth team for four months at Manchester United in 2023 after a dramatic fallout with his manager, Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag publicly criticised the winger after a game against Arsenal last year, saying he dropped the 23-year-old because of his poor performances in training. Sancho hit back by subtly claiming his manager was lying in a social media post.
After Sancho’s refusal to apologise, he was shipped out to his former club on loan, where he has experienced an impressive revival since January 2024.

Terzic on Sancho’s future
After Dortmund's Champions League defeat to Real Madrid, Terzic addressed Sancho’s future, admitting he was yet to know how the club would handle the £73 million man’s situation.
“I didn’t speak about the future because we’ve been speaking about the present. I am really happy that he is with us. Playing in a final in his hometown, it’s a very special moment for him,” he said, per The Independent.
“You can feel the joy he receives and brings in the dressing room. I am very happy to work with Jadon. We don’t know yet what the future will bring. But for sure, it’s going to bring him another Champions League final.”
