Is Borussia Dortmund using the French top club’s talent factory again? With Dan-Axel Zagadou, Soumalia Coulibaly and Abdoulaye Kamara, three current BVB players have already been trained by Paris Saint-Germain and right-back Thomas Meunier was also released by the French. The next player could follow in the summer.
As “RMC Sports” reported, BVB should show great interest in Djeidi Gassama. The 18-year-old still has a valid contract until 2023 in the French capital. PSG are basically interested in extending the contract with the native Mauritanian and then lending him However, BVB now wants to step in. The Black and Yellows want to sign Gassama in the summer and start negotiations with PSG in the near future.
“RMC Sport” also reports that BVB chief scout Markus Pilawa is said to have been seen with a player from the PSG juniors, where Gassama is currently playing, alongside Badou Sambague. This is the adviser of the 18-year-old.
BVB: A dangerous winger in sight
Gassama has recently attracted attention with his five goals and two assists in six UEFA Youth League games. In Germany, BVB is not the only one closely following the development of the left wing. In winter, Hamburger SV was said to have a specific interest. According to the portal, a loan to the Hanseatic city was “football transfers” in the room.
Now BVB wants to strike in the summer and, as an exception, would have to pay a fee for a PSG talent. Previously, those responsible around Michael Zorc liked to strike at the end of a contract. The talks with Paris should be interesting, as the ambitious French are not necessarily on good terms with the German clubs, as many talents have been poached early in recent years.
