Borussia Dortmund started preparing for the World Cup with a fuselage squad. After a short vacation, coach Niko Kovac only welcomed around ten professionals to a first non -public unit. Niklas Süle (29) was briefly on the training area, but drove away again. Some talents from the A-youth were there to fill up the squad. It is still unclear whether players will also fly from this circle to the USA on June 13th.
The national players will only be integrated into training in the coming week. A total of twelve players are currently still in use for their selections. It is generally still unclear what the squad on the club World Cup will look like. BVB is interested in Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of the former Dortmund Jude Bellingham, from AFC Sunderland. It is questionable whether this transfer can be completed by June 10, when the special transfer window ends for the club World Cup participants. However, the matter is now picking up speed.
According to the “Ruhr Nachtichten”, the black and yellow are ready to put a transfer near the 30 million euro border on the table-but the youngster, among other things, doubts that it would be the right step for him to do the same step for his brother, which has now played for Real Madrid in Dortmund. Instead, he might rather write his own story elsewhere, it was first said. The “picture” and then “Sky” reported on Monday evening that Bellingham has now chosen BVB, made his promise and that negotiations would now begin with Sunderland. Dortmund does not want to pay more than 25 million euros.

According to the “kicker”, the change in Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Midfielder Enzo Millot should also be on the piece, and “Sky” had reported for the first time at the end of the year. The 22-year-old Frenchman with a contract by 2028 is available for a fixed sum between 18 million and 20 million euros. The Swiss Ardon Jashari (22/contract until 2029) by Club Bruges is also under discussion.

Different procedure with the BVB loan players
Carney Chukwuemeka (21), which is still loaned by FC Chelsea, is also said to fly into the USA, although its situation is still unclear beyond June 30th. It is possible that the loan business will be extended until the end of the tour. In any case, the preliminary round games of the Dortmund should still participate.
The defender Saomaïla Coulibaly, which was still awarded to Stade Brest, is supposed to return early. However, the 21-year-old no longer has a game practice due to an adductor injury. On the other hand, an early return of the loan players Youssoufa Moukoko (20/OGC Nice) and Sébastien Haller (30/FC Utrecht) is not planned.
In the preliminary round of the club World Cup, the Dortmunders will play against Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa on June 21 in Cincinnati in Cincinnati in Cincinnati and on June 25th against Ulsan HD from South Korea.
