Michael Zorc comments on the futures of Thomas Delaney and Roman Bürki
By Tushar Bahl
Thomas Delaney and Roman Bürki are two players who could leave Borussia Dortmund before the end of the month. Michael Zorc has given an update on the futures of the duo.
Thomas Delaney is being heavily linked with a move to Sevilla. Reports in Germany claim that an agreement between Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla could be reached in the coming days.
Michael Zorc spoke about Delaney’s future in an interview with Sport1 on Sunday. While the Borussia Dortmund sporting director did not want to comment on whether or not the transfer is close, he did confirm that they are in talks with Sevilla.
"“We are in talks with Sevilla,” Zorc said. “I can’t say at the moment whether anything else will happen.”"
Zorc also told WAZ that Borussia Dortmund haven’t received an offer for Roman Bürki yet. The goalkeeper is free to leave BVB this summer following the arrival of Gregor Kobel. After losing his spot as the team’s first choice goalkeeper last season, Bürki now finds himself behind both Kobel and Marwin Hitz in the pecking order.
Borussia Dortmund are willing to sell Bürki for a cut-price fee of five million euros this summer. But they have yet to receive a concrete bid for him. The 30 year old has two years left on his current contract.
There are still ten days to go before the transfer window closes, and Borussia Dortmund will be looking to make decisions on the futures of both Delaney and Bürki soon. Hans-Joachim Watzke said earlier this month that the Black and Yellows will only make further signings this summer if players from the current team can be sold first.
