A lot has been made of a potential return of Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund, albeit the rumours have gone quiet in recent weeks.
However, as reported by Bild, there are clear parameters for the return of the prodigal son to the Westphalians who gave him his name.
After failing to make an impact in the Premier League at both Manchester United and Aston Villa, the Englishman is open to a return.
With Sancho also willing to accept a pay cut, Book and Kovač gave the green light for re-signing the 26-year-old winger:
"BVB wants to pay the Englishman a maximum base salary of five million euros, although he is currently without a club.
“BVB boss Lars Ricken and sporting director Ole Book do not want to pay Sancho a signing bonus and expect him to agree to a performance-related contract.”
Both officials watched several of the player's performances during his loan at Aston Villa, and scouts were sent to England in the spring.
According to the tabloid, there is a growing internal conviction that Sancho could rediscover his former form at BVB.
