Due to the departure of Jude Bellingham, there is a need for action at Borussia Dortmund in the eighth position. Now a highly talented Frenchman has apparently been targeted by BVB.
As “Foot Mercato” reports, the runner-up is dealing with a commitment from U21 national player Maxence Caqueret. Tottenham Hotspur should also be interested. However, it is still unclear whether BVB will actually start an advance.
The 23-year-old is regarded as a technically adept creative player who finds solutions particularly in the final third and is involved in many deals. Caqueret has been one of the regular players on the Rhône for three years now.
After a rather weak start to the season, he recently turned up more and more. With four goals and seven assists, the right foot ultimately set a new career record.
It is currently unclear how high a possible transfer fee could be. However, Caqueret is tied to Lyon until 2027. The negotiations could become correspondingly tough. However, “Foot Mercato” rumors that dynamics could soon come into the personnel.
BVB rakes in 103 million for Bellingham
The eight is currently preparing for the European Championships in Romania and Georgia with the French U21s. Should he continue to steal the spotlight there, interest from other clubs is likely to grow.
Meanwhile, reinforcements in midfield are firmly planned at BVB. This week, Jude Bellingham’s transfer to Real Madrid was finally completed. As a basic amount, 103 million euros flowed to BVB in this context.
Managing Director Hans-Joachim Watzke had already indicated that around two-thirds of the transfer proceeds should be reinvested.
The hottest candidate for the center is currently the Mexican Edson Álvarez from Ajax Amsterdam. According to “Sky”, the district club recently made an official offer in the Netherlands. Most recently, there was talk of a transfer fee in the region of 40 million euros.
Morten Hjulmand from Serie A club US Lecce and Enzo Le Fée from FC Lorient are also considered options.
