Borussia Dortmund is currently fighting in the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions League. Some stars could leave the club in the summer.
Dortmund – Between the two important games in the Champions League against Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund won 2-1 at Borussia Mönchengladbach at the weekend. This means they are still in a neck-and-neck race with RB Leipzig to qualify for the premier class. But a minor upheaval could take place in Dortmund in the summer, as some personnel details are up for debate.
For new arrivals: Will BVB let Malen move to the Premier League?
Next summer there will be no sale at Borussia Dortmund à la Jadon Sancho, Jude Bellingham or Erling Haaland, which will bring a hefty transfer fee into the club's coffers. There was already talk in the winter about the departure of Donyell Malen, who was flirting with a move to the Premier League. Due to his good performances in the second half of the season, the price tag for the Dutchman has risen to 50 million euros.
But as
Sportbild
reports, BVB no longer wants to let the 25-year-old go. With six goals and two assists in the Bundesliga since the beginning of the year, he is one of Dortmund's best players and was also able to score an important goal in the Champions League round of 16 against his former club PSV Eindhoven. From a sporting perspective, BVB has to keep him. However, a Malen sale could free up money for new transfers.
BVB: What happens to mega-talent Moukoko?
After Youssoufa Moukoko shot through the junior Bundesliga despite a large age difference, he became the youngest Bundesliga player and goalscorer of all time. Last season he scored seven goals and prepared four more, which is why many believed he would have a breakthrough at BVB this season. But shortly before the end of the transfer phase, Dortmund signed Niclas Füllkrug from Werder Bremen and put Moukoko, the national player, in front of the mega-talent.
In the current Bundesliga season he was only on the field for 413 minutes and was able to score three goals. However, the short playing time is not enough for his development, so he is also thinking about his future, as Sportbild
reports
. If a club offers around 25 million euros, BVB would let them go. Otherwise, the plan is to go on loan, which is not an easy option to implement given his salary of five million euros.
Despite the construction site in the external defense: Wolf should leave BVB
In addition to the contracts of Marco Reus and Mats Hummels, that of full-back Marius Wolf is also expiring. Last year, the former Frankfurt player made it to the national team. This year, however, the 28-year-old plays a minor role and is only used when the competition gets injured. According to Sportbild, a contract extension currently seems very unlikely.
This makes the external defense a major construction site in the Borussia Dortmund squad. Ian Maatsen will most likely return to Chelsea FC as the release clause is said to be around 40 million euros and is too high for BVB. Ramy Bensebaini has disappointed since his move from Gladbach to Dortmund. A lot to do for those responsible in the summer.
