In his second season at Borussia Dortmund, Thomas Meunier can finally live up to the expectations BVB had of him when he signed in the summer of 2020. Suddenly, however, rumors began to spread that Meunier’s time with the Black and Yellows could soon be over.
Meunier is said to have sparked interest from FC Barcelona. The Spanish transfer expert Gerard Romero wants to know that. Accordingly, Barca plans to offer BVB a tempting barter deal: Meunier should switch to the Catalans, Sergino Dest to Borussia in return.
Although Dest is mostly a seed at Barcelona, the 21-year-old USA international often faces criticism. Romero also confirmed that FC Barcelona is not entirely satisfied with the right-back. However, Dest has a few supporters, especially in the German Bundesliga. BVB has already been said to be interested several times, and FC Bayern is always considered a hot contender for a commitment.
The swap could also be interesting for BVB, since Dest is nine years younger than Meunier.
Witsel probably has no future at BVB
Speaking of Meunier: The Belgian himself did not comment on his near future, but let it be known that one of his compatriots is about to leave Dortmund: Axel Witsel and BVB will probably go their separate ways in the summer. The 33-year-old’s contract then expires.
“His adventure in Dortmund seems to be drawing to a close, although a surprise cannot be ruled out,” Meunier toldrtbf.be” Position on Witsel’s situation. The midfielder is aware that he is already 33 years old and players like Jude Bellingham, Mahmoud Dahoud and Emre Can can also fill his position and are considerably younger.
“He’s not sad, he knows the situation,” Meunier continued. However, Witsel continues to behave professionally and is a full team member.
