Jadon Sancho is closing in on a \u2018dream\u2019 transfer move ahead of his departure from Manchester United, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Sancho\u2019s miserable five-year spell at Old Trafford is finally set to come to an end this summer upon the expiration of his United contract.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old was one of the most highly-rated players in Europe when he completed a \u00a373m move to Manchester United in 2021.<\/p>\n

Sancho came through Manchester City\u2019s academy and while he failed to make the grade at the Etihad Stadium, it was a different story in Germany where he shone for Bundesliga giants Dortmund.<\/p>\n

Manchester United hardly ever experienced an in-form Sancho, however, and he was sent back to Dortmund on loan after just two seasons at the club.<\/p>\n

Sancho\u2019s performances on the pitch were only one part of the problem, with the forward also falling out with former United boss Erik ten Hag during that period.<\/p>\n

Chelsea signed Sancho on loan last season and were expected to keep him at Stamford Bridge in a deal worth \u00a325m.<\/p>\n

But the Blues surprisingly decided to pay a \u00a35m penalty to get out of the deal and send Sancho back to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Still firmly on the periphery at Old Trafford, Sancho joined Aston Villa last summer but has struggled under Unai Emery, failing to score a single goal in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

A productive spell at Villa Park could have earned Sancho a permanent transfer but Aston Villa now have no interest in keeping the player beyond this season.<\/p>\n

With Manchester United taking a similar stance, Sancho is set to leave on a free transfer this summer and Borussia Dortmund have emerged as the favourites to secure his signature.<\/p>\n

Sancho has been linked with a permanent return to Dortmund in recent months and German outlet Bild claim that move is now \u2018very likely\u2019.<\/p>\n

It is claimed Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl views Sancho as a \u2018game-changer\u2019 and is urging his colleagues to sanction a summer deal.<\/p>\n

Dortmund boss Niko Kovac, meanwhile, has indicated to his bosses that he is open to such a transfer, though Sancho would have to take a significant pay-cut.<\/p>\n

Bild have suggested that would not be an issue, however, as Sancho is willing to sacrifice some cash to secure a \u2018dream\u2019 return to the club where he burst onto the scene.<\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund are keen to bolster their options out side after selling England U21 star Jamie Gittens to Chelsea last summer.<\/p>\n

Dortmund are second in the Bundesliga \u2013 nine points behind runaway leaders Bayern Munich \u2013 and suffered a disappointing Champions League play-off defeat to Atalanta.<\/p>\n

Sancho\u2019s parent club Manchester United, meanwhile, have enjoyed an impressive resurgence under caretaker manager Michael Carrick to climb to third in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The winger\u2019s current side, Aston Villa, have lost three Premier League games in a row to slip to fifth in the table.<\/p>\n

Emery\u2019s side are going well in the Europa League, however, and have a one-goal lead over Lille ahead of the second leg of their last-16 clash on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
