By Tushar Bahl
Borussia Dortmund are set to have another busy summer transfer window with several players set to leave, if reports in Germany are to be believed.
SportBILD have run a big report on Borussia Dortmund’s supposed summer transfer plans today. They say that Borussia Dortmund realise that they cannot keep hold of Jadon Sancho beyond the summer, with the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool interested in signing him. BVB have put a price tag of 150 million euros on the young Englishman.
SportBILD add that Manuel Akanji is also free to leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer if the club receive a suitable offer for the centre-back. In addition, Mario Götze and Lukasz Piszczek will not be offered new contracts, and will leave the club on free transfers in the summer.
Out of favour players Mahmoud Dahoud, Jacob Bruun Larsen and Marcel Schmelzer are also free to leave. While loanees Andre Schürrle, Omer Toprak, Jeremy Toljan and Sergio Gomez have no future with the club.
In terms of potential arrivals, SportBILD claim that highly rated Stade Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is a transfer target for Borussia Dortmund. Even though Camavinga is still only 17, he is expected to cost close to 50 million euros.
Signing Real Madrid Achraf Hakimi on a permanent transfer is also high on Borussia Dortmund’s priority list. SportBILD say that the BVB bosses have been courting him for months now, and held talks with his agent during the winter break.
The Black and Yellows are also said to be eyeing Brazilian wingers Everton Soares and Antony as potential replacements for Jadon Sancho.
