Bundesliga soccer club Borussia Dortmund has already invested more than 90 million euros in newcomers this summer. Players such as Sébastien Haller, Karim Adeyemi and Nico Schlotterbeck switched to BVB for large sums of money, as well as the recent purchase of Anthony Modeste and free transfers such as national player Niklas Süle from FC Bayern. Are the Westphalians through with their personnel planning for this year?
Confronted with this question, BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl did not want to at least categorically rule out actually becoming active again on the player market: “Of course, many names will continue to be associated with us, we will look at it up to the last day. We We don’t know exactly what will happen on the delivery side either. We are prepared for different scenarios,” said the 42-year-old on the “DAZN” microphone before Dortmund Borussia’s away game at SC Freiburg on Friday evening (3-1).
For the first time this summer, Kehl took over responsibility for Dortmund’s transfer policy for Michael Zorc, who had retired.
Akanji and Schulz are still to be sold
Most recently, the runner-up was associated with other alternatives for the offensive, including the English youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is said to have been in contact with Bayern.
The Dortmund manager made it clear that Borussia Dortmund will be able to react again on the transfer market if the situation requires it. “But we won’t shoot really big things anymore,” Kehl also clarified.
Central defender Manuel Akanji and outside defender Nico Schulz are the main candidates for sale at BVB. Both were not in the Westphalia squad for the guest appearance in Breisgau on Friday evening.
