BVB: Haller replacement not needed for a long period of time – Simeone in focus?

Kehl about looking for a striker

Borussia Dortmund wants to be very diligent when looking for a replacement for the seriously ill new signing Sébastien Haller – and only make moves on the transfer market if all the conditions are right. The 28-year-old Haller has to undergo chemotherapeutic treatment because of a malignant testicular tumor, a month-long absence is certain.

“We had been fighting for Sébastien on the transfer market for a long time. After the departure of Erling Haaland, it was a big task to find a new top-level center forward who is also affordable for us,” explained the new BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl in an interview with “Welt am Sonntag”. Haller corresponded exactly to the profile of the black and yellow.

“Of course his absence hurts us a lot. And it’s not easy to find a suitable replacement now that many transfers have already been made,” Kehl continued. “So one thing is certain for me: We will only sign a new striker if we are 100 percent convinced of him. We won’t let ourselves drift there. It is our duty to consider all options. But it is very clear that we will build on Sébastien in the future. That’s why we don’t need a striker for a longer period of time.”
