From January 2024, he spent the second-half of the campaign at Borussia Dortmund before returning and joining Chelsea on loan on the summer deadline day last year.Chelsea had agreed a swoop which included an obligation to purchase the forward at the end of the campaign. However, an inability to reach an agreement on wages at the end of last season ensured the winger returned to United.The Blues paid a £5million penalty to United but the Reds have now been left with the task of seeking a new club for Sancho. The 25-year-old has already insisted that he wants to leave permanently this summer, but suitors have been hard to find.However, a saviour – in the form of a familiar face – could be to the rescue. Solskjaer moved to Besiktas in January and is currently in the midst of his first summer transfer window with the club.A forward is believed to be on his list of priorities and his club president was asked about the possibility of signing Sancho in a press conference on Monday. Responding, Adali said via NTVSpor: “I want it as much as the club wants it. I’ve said this about other transfers as well.”A player’s decision to come to Turkey is crucial.”We don’t have the luxury of buying every player we want for a large sum. We have a budget, too.”I want it more than our fans. We’ll do everything we can to bring him here.”It’s important that the player wants to come to Turkey and Besiktas.”We don’t want to force anyone to come because of money.”Sancho was one of Solskjaer’s last signings at United when he arrived at the club in the summer of 2021. But, by November that same year, the Norwegian was gone after defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road.Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.Make sure you don’t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
