Reports: Meunier should leave BVB – agreement with Edson Alvarez close

Series A sizes interested?

Thomas Meunier has been a potential candidate to leave Borussia Dortmund for weeks. Due to injury, the 31-year-old full-back hardly played a role at BVB last season – according to the “Picture“ will not change in the coming season, regardless of his fitness. Accordingly, the black and yellow are ready to let the 62-times Belgian national player go for around 3 million euros and thus below his market value of 5 million euros.

Meunier was again one of the market value losers in the Bundesliga update on Thursday, having previously been valued at EUR 6.5 million. His gross salary of 8.5 million euros is one reason for Dortmund’s low demand. The right foot of Aston Villa is said to have received an offer, and the newspaper also links Serie A greats AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus to Meunier.

It remains to be seen whether there will be an offer from Italy. Juventus will not extend the expiring contract of Juan Cuadrado (35), according to the current status, only Mattia De Sciglio (30), who has had a knee injury for a long time, and vice-captain Danilo (31) remain on the right side. However, the Brazilian put in top performances as a central defender in the back three last season. With Galatasaray’s Sacha Boey (22), Leicester’s Timothy Castagne (27) and Real’s Álvaro Odriozola (27), other right-backs have recently been traded at Juventus.

Milan, on the other hand, are actually well-manned with captain Davide Calabria (26) and veteran Alessandro Florenzi (32) on the right-hand side, but both are very injury-prone. However, Meunier would find it difficult to gain a regular place with the Rossoneri. That’s even more true at Inter, where Denzel Dumfries (27) plows down the right flank. The Dutchman would probably be sold if there was a good offer. His replacement, Matteo Darmian (33), played – like Danilo at Juventus – often in the back three, especially in the second half of the season, including in the lost Champions League final against Man City (0-1).

Romano: BVB before agreement with Álvarez – 1st offer to Ajax shortly

Transfer target number one remains at BVB – alongside Felix Nmecha, whose change is said to be on the home straight – Edson Álvarez from Ajax Amsterdam. Like transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported, the runner-up is about to reach an agreement with the 25-year-old “six”. Negotiations with the top Dutch club are set to officially begin next week. “sports1Meanwhile, writes that Ajax are demanding around 40 million euros for the Mexican, who is valued at 35 million – Dortmund wants to pay between 35 million and 37 million.

Álvarez and Nmecha as a defensive and offensive variant in central midfield should compensate for the departure of BVB star Jude Bellingham. The 19-year-old is moving to Real Madrid for at least 103 million euros, and according to “Sport Bild” another 25 million euros in bonuses are relatively easy to achieve.
