Because Sébastien Haller will be out for months with testicular cancer, BVB is looking for a replacement. And apparently found what he was looking for at 1. FC Köln.
Borussia Dortmund is reportedly about to sign Anthony Modeste. According to “Sport1”, BVB should already agree with the player. The agreement with Cologne is still pending. According to information from the “Express”, both clubs are still a little different in their ideas about the amount of the fee. Accordingly, Cologne demand five million euros, BVB wants to pay a little less. But “Effzeh” will probably have to let his goalscorer go due to the financial imbalance.
Dortmund’s sports director Sebastian Kehl had already indicated a timely transfer on Saturday. “I think we will see things a little more clearly in the next few days. Something will probably happen. And what we do will work,” he said after the 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.
The 34-year-old Modeste is the replacement for Sébastien Haller, who will be out for months due to a testicular cancer diagnosis. Haller was planned to succeed Erling Haaland for the storm center. Modeste scored 20 goals in Cologne last year and guaranteed success for the billy goats. Now he should go hunting for goals for BVB.
