Borussia Dortmund Revives Bold Bid for Stellar Talent
Despite the current winter transfer window being quiet for Borussia Dortmund, plans for the upcoming summer are already underway. The club is satisfied with its current squad but recognizes the need for reinforcements, particularly in defense.
Borussia Dortmund’s Summer Transfer Plans
Key players, including Niklas Süle, whose contract is set to expire, and Aaron Anselmino, who is on loan, require replacements. This situation opens the door for Borussia Dortmund to reignite their interest in talented English defender Charlie Cresswell.
Monitoring Cresswell’s Progress
- Charlie Cresswell previously emerged as a target when Dortmund sought a center-back last summer.
- The 23-year-old defender, currently with FC Toulouse in France, has an impressive record, having won two UEFA European Under-21 Championship titles with the England U21 squad.
Recent reports from “Sport Bild” suggest that Cresswell is once again being considered by Dortmund’s management. With the uncertainty surrounding captain Emre Can’s future, the club is assessing whether Cresswell meets their requirements for next season.
Competition from VfL Wolfsburg
However, Borussia Dortmund’s ambitions to secure Cresswell may hinge on interest from VfL Wolfsburg. The Bundesliga team is reportedly planning a winter transfer for the young defender to address their own squad issues.
- Cresswell’s contract with Toulouse runs until 2028.
- Wolfsburg recently had an initial offer of 18 million euros rejected for him.
The situation remains fluid, and it will be interesting to see how this potential transfer develops as both teams navigate their needs in the upcoming transfer windows. Borussia Dortmund must remain proactive if they wish to secure this stellar talent for their defensive lineup.
