Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is in regular contact with former club Borussia Dortmund.
The England international has been frozen out at United after criticising manager Erik ten Hag on social media.
Sancho has been linked with a January return to Dortmund.
And Sky Deutschland says Dortmund coach Edin Terzic is in regular contact with Sancho.
A return is unlikely at the moment, but the idea cannot be ruled out as Terzic likes the player.
Sancho wants to leave United - which is open to releasing him on-loan in the New Year.
