It has been clear since yesterday evening that Borussia Dortmund will continue to work with coach Edin Terzic in 2024 despite the recent extremely disappointing results. That was the result of a round of analysis on Thursday. However, the BVB bosses have also decided that staffing will be increased in the winter.
When BVB sets off for the winter training camp in Marbella, Spain, on January 3rd, there will already be new faces in the squad. The “Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung” wants to know this. The “priority” is therefore to sign a left-back.
With Ian Maatsen from Chelsea FC, Sergio Reguilón (loaned to Manchester United from Tottenham Hotspur), Fran García from Real Madrid and Ferdi Kadioglu from Fenerbahce, there have been plenty of possible options for the black and yellow in recent days, but it is clear that the clock is ticking. they actually want to announce completion before the start of the training camp.
The report leaves it open whether further squad construction sites should also be addressed by January 3rd, but there would be a need for action, as the last games have confirmed.
What makes matters worse, however, is that Borussia supposedly only has very limited financial scope for action: According to “Bild”, BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl is allowed to spend a maximum of seven million euros this January. Big jumps are not possible this way.
BVB wants to provide “immediate help”.
“Sport Bild” also reported that the new man for the left defensive side “should be the undisputed regular player and an immediate help”. Not only at first glance a tricky task for Kehl and Co.
The information that “WAZ” is spreading about Terzic is no less explosive. Although the 41-year-old was given the trust of the club bosses on Thursday, there are said to be players in the team who are by no means of the opinion that the turnaround could be achieved under Terzic – a circumstance that could definitely fall on the coach’s feet.
