The obligation to have to reinvent yourself from time to time is nothing new in Dortmund. He had to do it numerous times throughout its history and this summer it’s time to lay the foundations for a new project again after the goodbye of Erling Haaland and Michael Zorclegend in the sports management of the club that, now, will be occupied by the former captain Sebastian Kehl. And, as is customary in the Signal Iduna Park, work has already begun to rebuild a new winning BVB. He has a whole summer left to complete it, but what I have seen to date does not look bad at all.
To date, the big shots in western Germany have opted for prop up the center of a defense that was the black and yellow Achilles heel during the past season, another one without being able to fight the salad bowl of the Bundesliga to the almighty Bayern. To do this, they stole from the eternal rival Niklas Süle, dissatisfied at the Allianz Arena and the next leader of the Borusser defense. Nico Schlotterbeckjewel of the revelation team of the Bundesliga, Christian Streich’s Freiburg, he will form with him the pair of central defenders he wants, he can and must restore defensive stability to BVB. Matthew Moreyback in training after his serious knee injury, may be one of the full-backs, but in Dortmund they think they need to go to the market for at least one more left-footer.
In the creative section, Jude Bellingham will not leave and will be the axis of a midfield which, according to English media, Ilkay Gündogan, City midfielder whose contract expires in 2023, could return and that, therefore, it would only enter money in the English coffers if a buyer is found for it this summer. That yes, in Germany they give little credence to the possible return of the German international to Signal Iduna Park. Above, Karim Adeyemi, from Red Bull Salzburg, aims to be the new attraction in a black and yellow attack that, yes, land a killer is missing to fill the void left by Haaland. The object of desire is Sebastian Haller of Ajaxa player for whom the Dutch are asking for at least 35 million euros and whose transfer they could only assume in the west of Germany if they manage to sell some other player that they do not have for the new black-and-yellow project, for example , Manuel Akanji, Nico Schulz or Julian Brandt.
