Atletico Madrid has made a splash in the transfer market with a goal that promises to ignite the excitement of their fans: Jadon Sancho. The English winger, currently at Manchester United, is on the transfer list of his club as he does not fit into Ruben Amorim's plans, and the red and whites have decided to position themselves as one of the candidates to secure his services.

The information, first reported in Germany by journalist Julius Schamburg of Sport1, indicates that the Madrid side will directly compete with Borussia Dortmund, the team where Sancho enjoyed his best professional years. Returning to the Bundesliga is the option that most appeals to the player, who has a special bond with the Signal Iduna Park. However, Atletico's entry could change the scenario if they manage to entice him with an ambitious sports project and title aspirations.

Manchester United, not counting on the player for the upcoming season, is open to finalizing his departure as soon as possible. Both Dortmund and Atletico have proposed a loan deal valued around five million euros, a figure similar to what Chelsea paid for his loan last season. Jadon Sancho, determined to end his tenure at Old Trafford, is willing to reduce his salary by 30% to facilitate the negotiation.

Jadon Sancho, 25 years old, is under contract with United until 2026, and his current market value is around 28 million euros, far from the 130 million he reached in 2020 when he was considered one of the great promises of European football. His last season, with 39 games between the Premier League and the Conference League, resulted in five goals and ten assists, a performance that, though not at his best, is still attractive to several top clubs.

There is a problem Atletico should solve first to sign Sancho

However, a significant obstacle stands in the way of Atletico completing the deal: the non-EU player quota. The club already has Nahuel Molina, Conor Gallagher, and Thiago Almada occupying those slots, so Sancho's arrival would require one of them to leave. Both the Argentine full-back and the English midfielder are the potential candidates who could make room for the signing.

Atletico Madrid's entry into this race is not coincidental. The team led by Diego Simeone is looking to strengthen its wings with a player who can make a difference in one-on-one situations and provide creativity in the final meters. Sancho fits that profile, and his addition would bring a quality leap to an area of the field that the coach deems a priority.

On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund does not want to miss the chance to reclaim one of their recent idols. The German club is confident that Sancho's positive memories and experiences from his time there will be decisive factors in tipping the scales in their favor. Nevertheless, the financial capacity and the appeal of competing in La Liga and the Champions League with a team like Atletico could balance the competition.

In the coming weeks, it is expected that discussions will intensify. United wants to secure his departure as soon as possible, aware that his value could continue to decline if he remains on the bench. Atletico, on the other hand, must act swiftly to resolve the non-EU player quota issue and present a solid proposal that convinces both the player and the Old Trafford executives.

Atletico Madrid is fully engaged in the battle to sign Jadon Sancho in this transfer market, as they believe it would bring a quality boost to the squad. Despite not being at his best form due to several loans in recent years, the winger would be a signing that injects enthusiasm into the Colchoneros' fans.
