In Dortmund, Gregor Kobel is the undisputed number one. Maybe after the season, the keeper is drawn to another club.
Dortmund’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel could play in the Premier League next season. As the “Bild” newspaper reported, the talks between Chelsea and the 27-year-old open up. Another meeting should be planned this week.
Kobel has been under contract with Dortmund since July 2021 and is undisputed goalkeeper of the “black and yellow”. His contract runs until 2028. The market value of the Swiss is currently 40 million euros.
The BVB bosses Lars are likely to be ready to talk and Sebastian Kehl in the Causa Kobel should only show at a higher sum. “Image” assumes an amount of 60 million euros.
The Champions League qualification could be an important factor in a possible decision-especially because Kobel absolutely wants to continue to play in the largest European club competition.
Currently, the BVB’s participation in the premier class is anything but safe. Three game days before the end, the Dortmund are in sixth place and have three points behind SC Freiburg in fourth place. If BVB missed the Champions League, this might have an effect on the whereabouts of Kobel. Especially since Dortmund would be dependent on income from transfers in this case. A sales of Kobels would be obvious accordingly.
Exciting: According to the report, Kobel should identify with the BVB, but can also imagine the next step in career. Chelsea is apparently not his only option for the Swiss international. Newcastle United is also said to be on him.
