The big squad change at Borussia Dortmund is still in full swing. The black and yellow want Hoffenheim’s left-back David Raum – but they are not the only ones. The deal threatens to collapse.
Harder than expected: David Raum from TSG in Hoffenheim has been a highly sought-after transfer candidate since his convincing appearances in the DFB team. Borussia Dortmund are also interested in signing the 24-year-old this summer. But the deal now threatens to collapse.
Raum’s €30 million exit clause will not take effect until next summer. The fee this year is therefore freely negotiable. According to information from “Bild”, clubs from the English Premier League are interested in the left-back – and could pay the transfer fee of around 40 million euros. In contrast to Borussia.
West Ham United and Newcastle are therefore particularly interested in signing Raum. Dortmund would have to sell a few professionals in advance in order to be able to keep up with the high sums paid by the English.
