Promising transfer plans

Much like the last two summers, Borussia Dortmund will be forced to sell at least one superstar. Jude Bellingham appears to be closing in on a move to Real Madrid. While Raphael Guerreiro’s departure has already been confirmed.

The good thing about Borussia Dortmund is the fact that the club is always able to find the right replacements for departing players. Sporting director and former captain Sebastian Kehl has already shown his knack for finding the right fits. This summer, BVB are being linked with a host of exciting players, the list of which includes Ramy Bensebaini and Edson Álvarez.

Bensebaini will not only offer defensive solidity at the back but will also contribute to goals in the future. The Algerian scored six goals in the Bundesliga this season and is also strong from set pieces. Álvarez is also a player heavily linked with BVB and can offer defensive solidity in midfield.

No matter what the outlook of the squad is, the BVB bosses will no doubt have plans in place to ensure that the team fights for the title again next season.
